18 Pin Production IC Socket – Solder Tail, Tin Plated | JAYCAR PI6503

Swapping an 18-pin chip by desoldering is how boards end up in the bin. This socket lets you lift the IC straight out, test a replacement, and resolder nothing. Solder tail mount, tin plated, phosphor bronze or beryllium copper contacts. Built for production lines that need consistent, low-effort chip swaps

• 18-pin IC socket for easy chip removal and replacement
• Solder tail construction – straightforward to mount on PCBs
• Tin plated contacts in phosphor bronze or beryllium copper
• Suited to production and prototyping applications
• Avoids thermal stress on adjacent components during swaps
