Product Overview
The Jim-pak 24-PIN-WW is a classic 24-position wire-wrap socket configured for standard wide dual in-line package (DIP) components. Featuring square posts designed for multi-level wire-wrap wire wrapping and gold-plated contact points, it provides reliable mechanical retention and electrical conductivity for digital logic, microprocessors, or memory ICs on prototype and point-to-point construction boards.
Key Features
- 24-pin dual in-line layout (2 rows of 12 positions)
- 0.100 inch (2.54 mm) pin-to-pin contact pitch
- 0.600 inch (15.24 mm) row-to-row spacing for standard wide DIP components
- Long square wire-wrap pin tails for solderless wire wrapping
- Gold-plated contact points for low resistance and oxidation protection
- Closed-frame rigid thermoplastic body construction
Applications
- Prototyping microcomputer and digital logic circuits on standard perforated breadboards
- Restoring vintage computing, synthesizer, or industrial controller boards requiring period-correct wire-wrap construction
- Installing expensive or heat-sensitive 24-pin integrated circuits without direct soldering
- Bench testing, circuit experimentation, and custom electronic hobby builds
Frequently Asked Questions
What center spacing does this 24-pin socket use?
This socket uses standard 0.600 inch center spacing between rows, designed to seat wide 24-pin integrated circuits.
Are the pins suitable for wire-wrap tools?
Yes. The long square terminal posts are specifically sized and profiled to hold multiple wraps of standard wire-wrap wire.
Why buy a single vintage wire-wrap socket instead of a bulk lot?
Prototyping or repairing legacy 24-pin DIP hardware usually requires just one sound connector rather than an uninspected bulk bundle. This vintage component is ready for immediate bench work. Shipping is $8 flat rate, free once the order passes $28, and orders leave the Idaho warehouse the same or next business day.
Built for an era when circuits were wrapped one steady turn at a time, this socket brings dependable gold contacts to your next legacy restoration or custom build.
