8-Pin IC Socket / IC Base – DIP Socket in Basic Components & IC | Electro Boat

8-Pin IC Socket / IC Base – DIP Socket

An 8-pin IC base is a type of socket used to hold integrated circuits (ICs) with 8 pins, making it easy to insert and remove the IC for testing, replacement, or maintenance. IC bases are commonly used in electronic projects, breadboards, and prototypes to accommodate various types of 8-pin ICs, such as operational amplifiers, logic gates, voltage regulators, and more. The 8-pin IC socket/base is a DIP-compatible socket that securely holds 8-pin integrated circuits such as NE555, LM358, LM393, and ATtiny85, protecting them during soldering and enabling easy replacement in DIY electronics, prototyping, and circuit repair.

Product Details :

Made In :

India

Key Features:

8-pin dual inline package (DIP) socket
Prevents IC overheating during soldering
Easy insertion/removal of ICs in prototyping and testing
Perfect for 555 timer IC, LM358, LM393, ATtiny85, and op-amps
Suitable for breadboards and PCB mounting
Standard 2.54mm (0.1 inch) pin spacing
Durable phosphor bronze or tin-plated contacts

Product Description (Detailed):

This 8-pin IC socket (also known as IC base) is designed for use with standard 8-pin DIP ICs. It allows easy installation and removal of integrated circuits without soldering the IC directly to the board, which is especially useful for frequent prototyping, upgrading, or replacing components.

The socket provides a firm grip with reliable conductivity, ensuring stable operation even in long-term projects or rugged conditions. It's widely used in Arduino circuits, breadboard setups, embedded development boards, and general electronics repair.

Technical Specifications:

Parameter	Specification
Socket Type	8-pin DIP IC Socket
Pin Pitch	2.54mm (0.1 inch standard spacing)
Row Spacing	7.62mm (0.3 inch DIP standard)
Compatible IC Types	555 Timer, LM358, LM393, ATtiny85, Op-Amps
Contact Material	Tin-plated or phosphor bronze
Mounting Type	Through-hole (solderable)
Temperature Resistance	Up to 105°C (varies by material)

How to Use:

Solder the IC socket onto the PCB instead of the actual IC.
After soldering, insert the 8-pin DIP IC into the socket.
If the IC needs to be changed or tested, simply remove it from the socket without desoldering.

Great for IC protection, reducing heat exposure, and modular testing.
