The lever mechanism allows you to insert and remove chips without applying force, preventing bent or damaged pins. Lift the lever to open, drop the chip in, and push the lever down to latch it securely.\n\nThe socket can snap into an existing circuit board or IC socket designed for the chip, so you may not need to redesign your board. For example, it fits into an Arduino's ATmega socket for easy chip swapping.\n\nKey Features\n\n\nZero Insertion Force – Lever-operated for easy chip insertion and removal\n\n28-Pin DIP Compatible – Fits DIP chips up to 28 pins, 0.3\" wide\n\nDrop-In Replacement – Snaps into existing DIP sockets on circuit boards\n\nProtects Chip Pins – No bending or damage during insertion\n\n\nIdeal For\n\nIC programming and chip programmers\nTesting and swapping DIP chips without soldering\nArduino ATmega chip replacement setups\nEducational and prototyping use\n\n\nPackage Contents\n\n1× 28-Pin ZIF Socket\n","vendor":"Adafruit","product_type":"physical","in_stock":true,"options":[],"variants":[{"id":12067,"title":"Default Title","sku":"AF-382","price":5.85,"on_sale":false,"in_stock":true,"available_quantity":64,"option1":"Default Title"}]}
