16 Pin DIP IC Socket Base Adaptor
16 Pin IC Socket base adaptor is a 16 pin IC holder, which can be soldered directly onto the PCB. The IC can be removed from this socket when required. The IC is placed on the socket at the time of use. This base acts as a removable IC holder.
The socket is used when the IC is temperature sensitive and the heat from the soldering iron can damage the IC. This socket is used when working with a microcontroller IC and can be removed for programming.

16 Pin DIP IC Socket Base Adaptor Overview
The 16 Pin DIP IC Socket Base Adaptor (Pack of 5) is a PCB-mountable holder designed to accept 16-pin DIP integrated circuits. It provides a removable, JDEC-compliant interface so you can safely insert or remove ICs for programming, testing, or replacement without risking damage from soldering heat.
Key Features of 16 Pin DIP IC Socket Base Adaptor
- 16-pin configuration supports standard DIP16 packages
- JDEC-compliant footprint ensures compatibility with common PCB layouts
- Molded orientation notch prevents incorrect IC insertion
- Phosphor bronze contacts with tin plating for reliable conductivity
- Package of 5 sockets for bulk projects or spares
- Ships fast from Zbotic warehouse with genuine parts guarantee
Applications and Use Cases
- Prototyping microcontroller circuits where frequent IC swapping is required
- Protecting temperature-sensitive ICs during PCB soldering operations
