An IC socket (Integrated Circuit socket) allows you to insert and remove chips easily from an assembled kit or project We have a range of pins and different widths to choose from to fit a variety of different chips; choose your size from the pull-down on the right! These are often used for soldering into a Perma Proto or PCB so that you can replace and swap chips easily. What's nice about IC sockets is that they are the same pin...

The "poor woman's" Raspberry Pi cobbler! This combo of 2x13 pin (0.1 spaced) header and socket is for our popular GPIO Ribbon Cable for Raspberry Pi Model A and B.  It comes in two parts, a 'pin-through' socket and a male header. The socket straddles the center of a  breadboard or  Perma-Proto and then header plugs into the top of the socket. Since IDC cables are so standard, but a royal pain to use with...

This little 2x5 (10 pin - 0.1 spaced) IDC Breadboard Helper is great in conjunction with any of our 10-pin IDC cables. It comes in two parts, a 'pin-through' socket and a male header. The socket straddles the center of a  breadboard or  Perma-Proto and then header plugs into the top of the socket. Since IDC cables are so standard, but a royal pain to use with breadboards, this is a good and cheap hack for...

The "poor woman's" Raspberry Pi A+ / B+ / Pi 2 cobbler! This combo of 2x20 pin (0.1 spaced) header and socket is for our popular GPIO Ribbon Cable for Raspberry Pi Model A+/B+/Pi 2 (40 pins).  It comes in two parts, a 'pin-through' socket and a male header. The socket straddles the center of a  breadboard or  Perma-Proto and then header plugs into the top of the socket. Since IDC cables are so...

This  2x8 (16 pin - 0.1" spaced) IDC Breadboard Helper  is great in conjunction with any 16-pin IDC cables. It comes in two parts, a 'pin-through' socket and a male header. The socket straddles the center of a  breadboard or  Perma-Proto and then header plugs into the top of the socket. Since IDC cables are so standard, but a royal pain to use with breadboards, this is a good and cheap hack for...

This  2x16 (32 pin - 0.1 spaced) IDC Breadboard Helper  is great in conjunction with any 32-pin IDC cables.  It comes in two parts, a 'pin-through' socket and a male header. The socket straddles the center of a  breadboard or  Perma-Proto and then header plugs into the top of the socket.

This little  2x3 (6 pin - 0.1 spaced) IDC Breadboard Helper  is great in conjunction with our 6-pin IDC cable. It comes in two parts, a 'pin-through' socket and a male header. The socket straddles the center of a  breadboard or  Perma-Proto and then header plugs into the top of the socket. Since IDC cables are so standard, but a royal pain to use with breadboards, this is a good and cheap hack for...

An IC (Integrated Circuit) socket allows you to insert and remove chips easily from an assembled kit or project This item contains 3 of the 28 pin 0.3" wide version. Best used with chips that have 28 pins (2x14) and have 0.3" pin spacing. We also have 0.6" version, so don't use this for 'wide' 28p in chips These are often used for soldering into a Perma Proto or PCB so that you can replace and swap chips...

An IC (Integrated Circuit) socket allows you to insert and remove chips easily from an assembled kit or project This item contains 3 of the 8 pin 0.3" wide version. Best used with chips that have 8 pins (2x4) and have 0.3" pin spacing. These are often used for soldering into a Perma Proto or PCB so that you can replace and swap chips easily. What's nice about IC sockets is that they are the same pin spacing and size so you...

An IC (Integrated Circuit) socket allows you to insert and remove chips easily from an assembled kit or project This item contains 3 of the 20 pin 0.3" wide version. Best used with chips that have 20 pins (2x10) and have 0.3" pin spacing. These are often used for soldering into a Perma Proto or PCB so that you can replace and swap chips easily. What's nice about IC sockets is that they are the same pin spacing and size so you...

An IC (Integrated Circuit) socket allows you to insert and remove chips easily from an assembled kit or project This item contains 3 of the 28 pin 0.6" wide version. Best used with chips that have 28 pins (2x14) and have 0.6" pin spacing. We also have 0.3" version, so don't use this for 'skinny' 28p in chips These are often used for soldering into a Perma Proto or PCB so that you can replace and swap chips...

An IC (Integrated Circuit) socket allows you to insert and remove chips easily from an assembled kit or project This item contains 3 of the 40 pin 0.6" wide version. Best used with chips that have 40 pins (2x20) and have 0.6" pin spacing. These are often used for soldering into a Perma Proto or PCB so that you can replace and swap chips easily. What's nice about IC sockets is that they are the same pin spacing and size so you...

This is just a standard USB-A jack.  It's a sturdy metal with 4 pins in the back and 2 small mounting tabs that make it easy to use in your next USB project We use this USB-A jack for everything, really. With a little effort you can bend the side mounting tabs and solder the 4 data/power pins into a Perma Proto. Its not good for solderless breadboards, the pins are not very long.

An IC (Integrated Circuit) socket allows you to insert and remove chips easily from an assembled kit or project This item contains 3 of the 16 pin 0.3" wide version. Best used with chips that have 16 pins (2x8) and have 0.3" pin spacing. These are often used for soldering into a Perma Proto or PCB so that you can replace and swap chips easily. What's nice about IC sockets is that they are the same pin spacing and size so you...
