0.1″ CEN PCB SOCKET 28 PIN STRAIGHT – Pan Pacific PBS-28S

Pan Pacific PBS-28S — 28-Pin 0.100 inch PCB IC Socket, Straight The Pan Pacific PBS-28S is a 28-position PCB-mounted IC socket designed for standard 0.100 inch (2.54 mm) pitch integrated circuits. It provides a secure, indexed connection between through-board circuitry and dual in-line package components, enabling fast installation, field replacement, and bench service without repeated board rework. By using a dedicated PCB socket, technicians and assemblers can reduce soldering time during production and simplify component swaps during maintenance or repair. The straight orientation accommodates typical DIP footprints and helps ensure correct alignment and reliable contact for service technicians and OEM assembly lines. This socket is useful where durability, repeatable insertions, and professional board appearance are important, such as prototype rigs, repair benches, or low-volume production runs. Its simple form factor supports a wide range of applications where replacing an IC quickly minimizes downtime and lowers MRO costs. Key Features: 28 positions (28 pins) for standard DIP ICs 0.100 inch (2.54 mm) pitch compatible with common PCB layouts PCB-mount socket for reliable board retention Straight orientation for standard in-line component insertion Specifications: Manufacturer: Pan Pacific MPN: PBS-28S Typical applications include repair and replacement of DIP integrated circuits on control boards, prototype development and testing where frequent IC changes are required, OEM low-volume production where sockets reduce rework, and MRO inventories to support rapid field service. Electronics hobbyists and bench technicians will also find the socket valuable for experimentation and iterative design. Installation example: During a DVR repair, a field technician removes a faulty DIP memory chip and installs the replacement chip into the PBS-28S socket previously soldered to the PCB. The socket allows the technician to verify operation and, if necessary, replace the IC again without desoldering, saving time and preserving PCB pads.
