This 18 pin dual inline DIP socket provides a secure mounting platform for standard integrated circuits. Stamped contacts with a nickel-underplated tin finish ensure consistent electrical mating and low contact resistance. The THT solder tails provide reliable mechanical anchoring to the networking board. The housing is molded from glass-filled PBT to withstand high-temperature industrial wave soldering without any distortion. Utilizing a standard 2.54mm pitch and 7.62mm row spacing, this component fits common packages perfectly. Technicians utilize this modular interface to replace chips or update firmware easily. This solution also protects sensitive silicon from thermal damage during the initial assembly process.
