The 16-pin IC Socket, alternatively referred to as the 16-pin IC Base, serves as a detachable holder for 16-pin integrated circuits (ICs). It facilitates a direct connection to the PCB while allowing for easy replacement of the IC. This socket becomes essential in scenarios involving temperature-sensitive ICs that cannot be soldered onto the board. Additionally, it proves valuable in microcontroller-based applications, enabling the removal of the IC for programming purposes or when replacement is required.

Features :

1. 16 pins IC Base.
2. Molded notch for proper orientation.
3. Easy to insert and remove ICs.
4. 16 Pin IC Socket base adaptor is a 16 pin IC holder, which can be soldered directly onto the PCB.
5. The socket is used when the IC is temperature sensitive and the heat from the soldering iron can damage the IC
