28pin Wide base ZIF socket

The 28-pin wide base ZIF (Zero Insertion Force) socket is designed to hold 28-pin Dual In-line Package (DIP) integrated circuits with a wider pin spacing. This socket allows for the easy and damage-free insertion and removal of ICs, making it ideal for prototyping, testing, and applications where ICs are frequently replaced.

Key Features:

• Compatibility: Accommodates 28-pin wide base DIP ICs
• Insertion Force: Zero Insertion Force (ZIF) mechanism ensures easy and safe insertion and removal of ICs
• Lever Operation: Includes a lever or slide mechanism to open and close the contacts, securing the IC when engaged
• Durability: Made from high-quality materials to ensure long-lasting performance
• Contact Material: Gold-plated or tin-plated contacts for corrosion resistance and reliable electrical connections

Technical Specifications:

• Pin Count: 28
• Pin Pitch: Standard 2.54 mm (0.1 inches) pitch
• Socket Type: Zero Insertion Force (ZIF)
• Contact Material: Gold-plated or tin-plated contacts for improved conductivity and resistance to corrosion
• Housing Material: High-temperature resistant plastic to withstand soldering processes
• Dimensions: Specific to the 28-pin wide base DIP form factor, adhering to industry standards

Applications:

• Prototyping: Ideal for development boards and prototypes, allowing easy swapping of ICs during design and testing phases.
• Repair and Maintenance: Facilitates the replacement of ICs in existing electronic devices without risking damage from repeated insertions and removals.
• Production: Suitable for low-volume production runs where ICs might need frequent changes or upgrades.
• Educational: Widely used in educational kits and projects to demonstrate the use of various ICs without the need for soldering.
