18 Pin Gold Insert Machined Pin IC Socket | Jaycar PI6458

Eighteen pins means eighteen chances for a cold joint or a bent leg. This socket takes that risk off the table. The gold insert machined pins grip each IC leg evenly, so you're not wrestling with a wobbly seat while your flux dries. Anti-wicking finish keeps the solder where it belongs — in the joint, not creeping up the pin. Drop it in your board, seat the chip, and call it done. Made for the tech who's on call, not in a lab

• 18-pin configuration with gold insert machined pins
• Anti-wicking finish prevents flux creep and keeps joints clean
• High-quality build for repeated IC seating and removal
• Suited to professional, portable, and field-service equipment
