NE555P Timer IC – DIP-8 Programmable Oscillator Chip with Socket

The NE555P Timer IC is a legendary, versatile integrated circuit trusted by electronics hobbyists, engineers, and makers worldwide. Operating over a wide voltage range of 4.5V to 18V, this DIP-8 packaged chip is the go-to building block for timers, pulse generators, oscillators, frequency dividers, and countless other electronic circuits. Whether you're prototyping on a breadboard or soldering up a permanent PCB project, the NE555P delivers rock-solid, repeatable performance every time.

Key Features

  • Wide Operating Voltage: 4.5V – 18V, compatible with most standard DC power supplies
  • DIP-8 Package: Industry-standard 8-pin dual in-line package — fits breadboards, IC sockets, and PCBs perfectly
  • Included DIP Socket: Each set comes with matching DIP-8 sockets, making chip swapping and prototyping hassle-free
  • Programmable Oscillator: Configure as a monostable (one-shot) or astable (free-running) oscillator using just a few passive components
  • High Output Current: Capable of sourcing or sinking up to 200mA — directly drives LEDs, relays, and small motors
  • Reliable Timing: Accurate timing intervals from microseconds to hours, set by external resistors and capacitors
  • Multi-Pack Value: Available in 10-piece or 20-piece sets — stock up and never run short mid-project

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What is the NE555P Timer IC and what can I build with it?

A: The NE555P is one of the most widely used integrated circuits in electronics. It is a general-purpose timer chip in a DIP-8 package that can be configured as a monostable (single pulse) or astable (continuous oscillating) circuit. Common projects include LED flashers, tone generators, delay switches, PWM motor controllers, and clock signal generators for digital logic circuits.

Q: What voltage does the NE555P Timer IC require?

A: The NE555P operates over a broad supply voltage range of 4.5V to 18V, making it compatible with standard 5V, 9V, and 12V DC power supplies commonly used in hobbyist and professional electronics projects.

Q: Why does this set come with DIP-8 sockets?

A: DIP-8 IC sockets allow you to insert and remove the NE555P chip without soldering it directly to your PCB. This is especially useful during prototyping and testing, as it lets you swap chips quickly, protecting both the IC and your board from heat stress during soldering.

Q: How many chips are included in one order?

A: You can choose between a 10-piece set or a 20-piece set. Each set includes the corresponding number of NE555P ICs along with matching DIP-8 sockets, giving you everything you need to get started on multiple projects.
