Dean, I’m ordering sockets for CDL stock / is there a specific type that is preferred ?
Martin Flynn
Martin, thank you. I’m not sure. Perhaps Jeff S, Herb, Ian, et al would have a better idea of common sockets types we’re likely to go through Dean Notarnicola
Much discussion occurred about IC sockets. No one suggested purchase of machine-pin sockets, which is my choice. "Double wipe" sockets are preferred by others. CDL "should" purchase whichever style they find satisfactory. As to number of pins: some of all kinds should be stocked by CDL, they will get used eventually. But pin-counts above 40 are somewhat specialized. - regards, Herb -- Herbert R.
