4.00

Availability: In Stock

An 18-PIN IC (Integrated Circuit) Socket is a component used to hold and connect an 18-pin integrated circuit securely onto a printed circuit board (PCB). Here’s a general description:

1. **Socket Type:**
– The 18-PIN IC Socket is designed to accommodate integrated circuits with 18 pins. It is specifically configured to match the pin layout of such ICs.

2. **DIP Configuration:**
– It is typically a Dual In-Line Package (DIP) socket, where the pins are arranged in two parallel rows, allowing for easy insertion of the IC.

3. **Material:**
– Constructed from durable and heat-resistant materials, such as plastic or ceramic, to ensure stability and reliability.

4. **Pin Contacts:**
– The socket has 18 pin contacts, providing a secure connection between the IC and the PCB.

5. **Numbering and Orientation:**
– Usually, the socket is numbered to correspond with the pin numbers on the IC. This helps in proper alignment and orientation during installation.

6. **PCB Mount:**
– Designed for PCB mounting, allowing for easy integration into electronic circuits.

7. **Ease of Replacement:**
– The use of a socket allows for the easy replacement of the IC without soldering, which can be beneficial during prototyping or troubleshooting.

8. **Compatibility:**
– Compatible with a variety of 18-PIN ICs, including microcontrollers, operational amplifiers, and other digital or analog ICs.

9. **DIY Electronics:**
– Suitable for use in do-it-yourself (DIY) electronics projects where flexibility and ease of IC replacement are desired.

10. **Electronic Prototyping:**
– Commonly used in electronic prototyping to facilitate quick testing and modification of circuits.
