Integrated circuits ('chips') and holders

NE555 timer IC, at least 3 (10 if you plan to solder projects). It is not worth ordering other ICs at this stage unless you know they are needed for some of the projects you wish to try.

If you are planning to solder circuits on stripboard or PCB you will also need 8-pin, 14-pin and 16-pin DIL sockets (IC holders), at least 10 of each.
