14 Pin DIL chip Socket

DIL 14 socket (suitable for 74LS00, 74LS08, 74LS32, 74LS74, 7406, 4066 etc)

16 Pin DIL Chip Socket

DIL 16 socket (Suitable for 4116, 4164, 4044, 74LS139, 74LS157, 74LS257, 74LS258 etc)

18 Pin DIL chip Socket

DIL 18 socket (suitable for LM1889 Video encoder, 41464 RAM chip etc)

20 Pin DIL Chip Socket

DIL 20 socket (Suitable for 74LS373 etc)

24 pin DIL IC Socket

• As used in the Commodore 64 for the Basic, Kernal and Character ROM chips.
• Two of these placed end-to-end will replace a 48-pin DIL socket such as that for the ULA in the Spectrum 128

28 Pin DIL Socket

• Suitable for for ROM in Spectrum, SID and PLA chips in the Commodore 64

40 Pin DIL Chip Socket

• As used for Z80 (and ULA on Spectrum 16/48) , CPC464 and the CPU, VIC-II, CIAs on Commodore 64

14-pin "Turned Pin" IC socket

• Turned pin sockets are useful for salvaging desoldered ICs or chips that have broken legs as their recepticles grip uneven chip legs well (a soldered wire can be used to link a short pin stub to the socket hole if necessary). The sockets have round, rigid pins so can usually be fitted into normal DIL sockets (though neither socket is really designed for this so YMMV) and are less likely to damage the socket upon removal compared to the uneven legs of a desoldered chip. Of course, they can simply be used as a more robust alternative to normal DIL sockets, though extra care should be taken to ensure pins are aligned correctly when inserting chips.
• This socket has 14 pins - usesful for common logic ICs etc
• Standard 0.3" pin spacing. (Note some Amstrad CPC464 boards have non-standard pin spacing so these will not fit those boards)

16-pin "Turned Pin" IC socket

• This socket has 16 pins - useful for RAM and common logic ICs
• Standard 0.3" pin spacing. (Note some Amstrad CPC464 boards have non-standard pin spacing so these will not fit those boards)

18-pin "Turned Pin" IC socket

• This socket has 18 pins - useful for LM1889N, 41464 2114 RAM and common logic ICs
• Standard 0.3" pin spacing. (Note some Amstrad CPC464 boards have non-standard pin spacing so these will not fit those boards)

20-pin "Turned Pin" IC socket

• This socket has 20 pins - useful for larger logic ICs (74LS373 etc)
• Standard 0.3" pin spacing. (Note some Amstrad CPC464 boards have non-standard pin spacing so these will not fit those boards)

24-pin "Turned Pin" IC socket

• This socket has 24 pins (suitable for C64 breadbin ROMs etc)

28-pin "Turned Pin" IC socket

• As detailed above but 28 pins.

40-pin "Turned Pin" IC socket

• As detailed above but with 40 pins (EG: C64 VIC, CIAs, Spectrum ULA, Z80 etc)
