A ZIF (zero insertion force) socket for wide-body SOIC-8 (200mil) chips. Flip open the latch, insert your chip, and close it to secure the IC against gold contact fingers. The bottom footprint matches the standard SOIC-8 wide-body pad layout, so it can be soldered directly onto an existing PCB.
Designed primarily for flash chips and other wide-body SOIC/SOP 8-pin ICs. Makes it easy to swap and test chips without soldering and desoldering.
Key Features
- ZIF Latch – Flip-open mechanism for easy chip insertion and removal
- Gold Contact Fingers – Reliable, low-resistance connection to chip pins
- Standard Footprint – Solders onto any wide-body SOIC-8 (200mil) PCB pad layout
- Wide-Body Only – Fits 200mil wide SOIC/SOP 8-pin chips
Ideal For
- Flash chip programming and testing
- Prototyping with swappable SOIC-8 ICs
- Production testing and chip evaluation
Jargon buster
Plain-language definitions for the technical terms used above.
- PCB
- A printed circuit board is a rigid board with copper tracks that connect electronic parts without loose wires. For this kit, the PCBs also form the airplane shape, so they are both the circuit base and part of the finished model.
