28-pin ZIF Socket

The 28-pin ZIF Socket is a reliable zero-insertion-force connector designed for easy microchip swapping. It is ideal for makers, students, and technicians building chip programmers, test benches, or development boards.

Zero insertion force mechanism

The socket features an easy-to-use lever mechanism that clamps integrated circuits securely without applying mechanical stress or bending pins. It has a standard 0.3-inch row spacing width.

Built for frequent chip replacement

This socket is specifically designed for circuits where ICs must be repeatedly inserted and removed. It provides an ideal interface for dedicated programming circuits used to flash firmware or bootloaders onto Arduino microcontrollers.

High conductivity terminals

Internal contacts utilize high-conductivity terminals to maintain solid, low-resistance electrical connections across multiple insertion cycles.

Package compatibility and contents

The socket supports dual inline package ICs up to 28 pins in size. Each pack includes one 28-pin ZIF socket.
