Product Overview
RadioShack 276-1999 is a two-piece pack of 14-pin low-profile dual in-line package (DIP) IC sockets designed for through-hole circuit board assembly. Each socket features dual-wipe phosphor bronze contacts and standard 0.300-inch row spacing, allowing integrated circuits to be mounted or replaced without direct exposure to soldering heat.
Key Features
- 14-pin configuration arranged in two rows of seven pins
- 0.300-inch (7.6 mm) row-to-row spacing with standard 0.100-inch pin pitch
- Dual-wipe phosphor bronze contacts for dependable pin retention
- Glass-filled PBT thermoplastic housing rated UL94V-0
- Voltage rating from 10 mV to 60 V with a 1 A continuous current rating
- 20 mΩ maximum contact resistance and 5000 MΩ minimum insulation resistance
- Dielectric strength rated at 1000 V RMS for 1 minute
- Accepts IC leads from 0.20 mm to 0.36 mm thick
- Solder-bath temperature resistance up to +260°C (+500°F) for 5 seconds
Applications
- Sockets 14-pin logic gates, timers, and operational amplifiers on prototype perfboards and breadboards
- Replaces failed or corroded sockets during vintage computing and audio equipment restorations
- Protects heat-sensitive integrated circuits from iron damage during hobbyist circuit assembly
- Facilitates quick bench-testing and chip swapping in modular electronics designs
Frequently Asked Questions
What lead thicknesses do the dual-wipe contacts accept?
The phosphor bronze dual-wipe contacts accommodate standard rectangular or round IC leads between 0.20 mm and 0.36 mm thick.
What soldering temperatures can the housing withstand?
The glass-filled PBT thermoplastic body is rated for solder-bath temperatures up to +260°C (+500°F) for 5 seconds during through-hole assembly.
What package footprint do these sockets accommodate?
These sockets accept standard 14-pin narrow DIP integrated circuits with 0.300-inch (7.6 mm) row spacing and 0.100-inch (2.54 mm) pin pitch.
A socket is cheap insurance against a hot iron and an irreplaceable chip. Drop these on the board, keep the silicon safe, and make the next swap effortless.
