A 16-pin narrow IC socket is designed to securely hold 16-pin integrated circuits (ICs) while allowing easy insertion and removal. It protects ICs from heat damage during soldering and enables quick replacement or upgrades in PCB designs, prototyping, and embedded systems.

Key Features

• Pin Configuration: 16-pin layout for standard ICs

• Row-to-Row Spacing: Typically 0.300″ (7.62mm) for compact designs

• Pin Pitch: 0.1″ (2.54mm) spacing for reliable connections

• Contact Finish: Tin-plated for good conductivity and corrosion resistance

• Mounting Style: Through-hole PCB mount for secure installation

• Durability: Supports multiple insertions without degrading performance
