Rather than exposing these delicate pieces of silicon directly to the extreme, potentially fatal temperatures of your soldering iron, you permanently solder this rugged thermoplastic socket to your PCB or perfboard. Once the board has cooled, you simply snap your IC safely into the tensioned metallic contacts.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"6\"\u003eBeyond thermal protection, an 8-pin socket provides unmatched flexibility for prototyping and repair. In the audio and guitar pedal community, using a socket for the main op-amp allows builders to perform \"chip rolling\"—instantly swapping out different 8-pin amplifiers to change the tonal flavor of the circuit without desoldering anything. For microcontroller projects, it allows you to effortlessly pull an ATtiny85 from your board, pop it into a USB programmer to update the firmware, and push it right back into the circuit.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"7\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"7\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eKey Features \u0026amp;
