DIP Headers & Mating Sockets
Through-hole DIP headers and mating sockets for modular PCB interconnect and interface applications.
Overview
DIP headers and mating sockets provide modular interconnect solutions for PCB interface systems, socketed device integration, and development hardware applications. These components support repeatable electrical connection, serviceable assembly, and footprint compatibility across DIP-based layouts and custom interface designs.
DIP Sockets (DS Series)
DS Series DIP sockets provide a reliable interface for standard dual-inline package (DIP) devices and compatible DH Series DIP headers. Available in multiple pin counts and row spacing configurations, these sockets support a wide range of programming, test, development, and interconnect applications.
Designed for repeated insertion cycles and long-term serviceability, DS Series DIP sockets are commonly used in programming adapters, production test fixtures, engineering development systems, prototype hardware, and custom PCB assemblies.

DIP Headers (DH Series)
DH Series DIP headers provide configurable interconnect solutions for programming adapters, production test fixtures, engineering development systems, and electronic interconnect applications. Available in multiple pin counts and standard DIP row spacing configurations, DH Series headers are designed for compatibility with standard dual-inline package (DIP) layouts and mating DS Series DIP sockets.
Standard terminal options include 004 SMT-to-through-hole and 008 male-to-male through-hole configurations. Additional terminal plating, insulator materials, frame styles, and custom terminal configurations are available to support a wide range of mechanical and electrical integration requirements.

Designed to Work Together
DH Series DIP headers and DS Series DIP sockets are commonly paired to create modular, serviceable interconnect systems for PCB interface applications and socketed device integration.
Both series share compatible pin spacing, footprint geometry, and stackable insulator configurations to simplify integration into existing PCB layouts and custom interface assemblies.
How to Order
Use the part numbering guide to specify header or socket type, pin count,
DIP width, terminal or tail length, plating, frame style, and insulator
material. If you have a non-standard requirement, contact us to review a
custom configuration.
Ordering Information & Custom Options
DIP Headers and DIP Sockets are available in a wide range of pin counts, DIP spans, plating options, insulator materials, and tail lengths. Custom configurations are available to support non-standard layouts or application-specific requirements.
