16 Pin IC Base

16 Pin IC Socket base adaptor designed as a 16 pin IC holder, that can be soldered directly onto the PCB. The IC can be removed from this socket whenever required. So in case your IC damages you can easily replace it without desoldering. The 16 Pin IC Base easily munted on the socket at the time of use. This base acts as a removable IC holder. They provide easy safe removal and insertion of IC chips. The IC is also used for prototyping new circuits because they allow easy component swapping.

This is a low-cost 16 pin IC base that came with a pitch of 2.54mm for DIP IC’s.  Basically, the IC base allows easy replacement of IC eliminating the risk of damage from overheating during the soldering & desoldering process. The socket is used when the IC temperature becomes 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.
