Description
These 16 pin IC sockets are perfect for those who like to take their hobbies seriously, going beyond the simplified pre-built boards like the ever-popular Arduino UNO, and building circuits from scratch with IC Chips, bare Components and custom PCB Etching. These IC sockets work by taking the standard SOIC (Small Outline) package and giving it an adapter platform that converts it into a DIP (Dual In-Line) package. With the 16 Pin standard, you can use tools like the common 16 Pin ZIF Sockets to program without any chances of physical damage, before adding the programmed chip into your circuit. This way, you can protect your chips from any unnecessary damage both during programming and installation onto the PCB, which is especially important if you are utilising very expensive or very sensitive chips for your projects.
