RS PRO introduces the series of machine pin sockets which offers a full range of exceptional quality, highly reliable DIP package sockets, including this 8 way through hole turned pin DIP socket, also known as DIL socket. RS PRO has designed these sockets to feature solid precision turned sleeves with a closed bottom design eliminating flux intrusion and solder wicking during soldering. Constructed with a stamped spring copper insert, this provides an excellent connection and allows repeated insertion and withdrawals. With Gold plated inner contact and tin-plated outer sleeve this socket is a Hi-Temp insulator for Hi-Temp soldering processes of up 260°C. Our insulators are molded of UL94V-0 high temp thermoplastic.

• These IC sockets have been designed with high-pressure contacts
• 8 way through pin sockets have precision stamped internal spring contacts in order to give an excellent connection and make it more durable for repeated usage
• Anti-Solder wicking design to make your experience with these IC sockets easy whilst removing flux intrusion and protecting any delicate components underneath
• Machine insertable making these connectors suitable for production line work
• Dual row components remove the limitation of IC sockets by taking away the restriction of the number of leads available
• Molded from high temp thermoplastic to give an extra layer of protection to this component

A DIL socket, also known as a DIP socket, means a dual in line package which is an electronic component with two parallel rows of pins that can be through-hole mounted to a printed circuit board or inserted directly into a socket.
