{"title":"40-pin ZIF socket","handle":"40-pin-zif-socket","url":"/products/40-pin-zif-socket","description":"A 40-pin Zero Insertion Force (ZIF) socket for DIP chips up to 0.6″ wide. The lever-operated mechanism allows chips to be inserted and removed without bending pins, making it ideal for chip programmers, testing, and applications where ICs need to be swapped frequently.\n\nLift the lever to open the socket, drop the chip in, then push the lever down to lock it in place. The gold-plated contacts ensure reliable connections over many insertion cycles. Fits into existing 40-pin 0.6″ DIP sockets or PCB footprints.\n\nKey Features\n\n\nZero Insertion Force – Lever-operated for damage-free chip insertion and removal\n\nGold-Plated Contacts – Durable, low-resistance connections\n\n40-Pin DIP Compatible – Accepts DIP chips up to 40 pins and 0.6″ wide\n\nDrop-In Replacement – Fits standard 40-pin 0.6″ DIP footprints\n\n\nSpecifications\n\n\nPin Count – 40 (2×20)\n\nPitch – 2.54mm (0.1″)\n\nRow Spacing – 0.6″ (15.24mm)\n\nContact Plating – Gold\n\n\nIdeal For\n\nIC programmers and chip testing\nPrototyping with swappable microcontrollers\nEducational electronics and chip comparison\n\n\nPackage Contents\n\n1× 40-Pin ZIF Socket\n","vendor":"Adafruit","product_type":"physical","in_stock":true,"options":[],"variants":[{"id":12069,"title":"Default Title","sku":"AF-383","price":7.8,"on_sale":false,"in_stock":true,"available_quantity":100,"option1":"Default Title"}]}
