DIP Sockets

Dual in-line Package, DIP. The graphic above shows one style of a board-mount through hole socket, of different sizes. A wire wrap socket would look about the same but would have longer pins to accept the wire. Surface mount ICs are a better option over through hole IC's because they are much smaller and have less lead inductance allowing higher speed operation.

Dual In-Line Package

Another common style of DIP socket accepts discrete components. This package style may also be called an Adapter Socket, because it adapts the discrete components into a 14-pin DIP out-line. Discrete components [resistors, capacitors, diodes] are attached between two fork terminals and soldered into place. Wire could also be used as a jumper between two terminals to short connections together.

Dual In-Line Package

Some types of DIP sockets, normally open-frame sockets, have integrated by-pass capacitors already attached to the bottom of the socket frame. The capacitor is attached to the last pin of the left and right sides of the socket; pins 7 and 14 of a 14-pin socket or pins 8 and 16 of a 16-pin socket. In many logic families these are the ground and power pins of the IC.
Open Frame sockets allows for more efficient cooling by leaving the space between the Printed Wiring Board [PWB] and IC free for air flow.
Most DIP sockets are Side-to-side and end-to-end stackable.
Other DIP socket styles include right-angle sockets that allow the IC to be mounted either horizontally or vertically in the DIP socket, while the socket is at a right angle to the PWB.
Some DIP sockets also come with an ejector/latch so the IC can be secured in the socket and then easily removed.
Surface Mount DIP sockets are also available.
DIP Adapters are also common and used as dropped in replacements for end-of-life DIP IC’s. DIP Adapters convert one IC pinout into another, or surface mount to through-hole converters
