40 Pin DIP IC Socket Base Adaptor (Pack of 5)

Product Description:

A 40 pin IC socket base adaptor is a type of IC holder that can be soldered onto the PCB. It allows the IC to be inserted and removed as needed. This base serves as a detachable IC holder.

The socket protects the IC from heat damage that might occur during soldering. It is useful for working with microcontroller ICs that need to be removed for programming.

Features:

• 40 pins
• JDEC compliant
• Molded notch for proper orientation
• Easy to insert and remove ICs

Package Includes:

• 1 x 40 Pin DIP IC Socket Base Adaptor (5 pcs)

40 Pin DIP IC Socket Base Adaptor Overview

The 40 Pin DIP IC Socket Base Adaptor (Pack of 5) is a panel-mount holder designed to solder onto printed circuit boards, providing a removable interface for 40-pin DIP integrated circuits. It safeguards ICs from soldering heat and enables easy insertion and extraction during programming, testing, or replacement.

Key Features of 40 Pin DIP IC Socket Base Adaptor

• Pack of 5 JDEC-compliant DIP sockets for batch prototyping and repairs
• Molded notch ensures proper IC orientation and prevents pin misalignment
• Phosphor bronze contacts with tin plating for reliable conductivity
• 1 A current handling capacity and operating range from –25 °C to 85 °C
• UL94V-0 rated black housing for flame resistance and durability
• Genuine product, fast shipping from Zbotic for quick project turnaround

Applications and Use Cases

• Mounting microcontroller ICs (e.g., 8051, PIC, AVR) for in-circuit programming
• Prototyping DIP-based memories, shift registers, and logic ICs on custom PCBs
• Building test fixtures and jigs where ICs are swapped frequently
• Quick replacement of faulty chips without de-soldering
• Educational electronics kits requiring reusable IC sockets

How to Use 40 Pin DIP IC Socket Base Adaptor

Solder the socket base adaptor onto your PCB footprint, ensuring the molded notch aligns with pin 1 marking on the board. Once soldered, simply press the 40-pin DIP IC into the socket until it seats firmly, and remove it by gently rocking the IC side to side, minimizing stress on pins for repeated use.

Frequently Asked Questions

What IC types fit this 40-pin socket base adaptor?

This adaptor accepts any standard 40-pin DIP IC following JEDEC dimensions, including microcontrollers, EEPROMs, shift registers, and logic gates.

How does the molded notch ensure correct installation?

The molded notch on the socket aligns with the PCB’s pin 1 indicator, preventing reversed insertion and ensuring each pin matches its corresponding pad.

Can the socket withstand repeated IC insertions?

Yes, phosphor bronze contacts rated at 340 g insertion force per contact maintain reliable grip and electrical connection over many insertion/removal cycles.
