An IC to board connector, often called an integrated circuit (IC) socket or socket adapter, is a component that connects an IC to a printed circuit board (PCB). This type of IC socket connector typically comprises a housing with several contacts that correspond to the pin configuration of the IC package. These connectors make it simple to add and remove ICs from the PCB, which speeds up testing, replacement, and prototyping.
