Adafruit IC Socket - for 8-pin 0.3" Chips - Pack of 3

An IC socket simplifies the process of inserting and removing chips from a project, enabling easy chip replacement. This item includes three 8-pin IC sockets with a 0.3" width, designed for chips with 8 pins (2x4) and 0.3" pin spacing.

Ideal for soldering into a Perma Proto or PCB, these sockets help swap out chips without redesigning the board. Compatible with any solderable PCB or protoboard, they ensure consistent pin spacing. Not suitable for solderless breadboards due to short pins.

Whether for prototyping or repairs, IC sockets provide a seamless way to manage chip connectivity across various electronic projects, ensuring reliability and ease of maintenance.
