ZIF Sockets

Post by Benj »

Hello

To anyone who wants to protect or lengthen the lifespan of their programming hardware or microcontroller devices a ZIF socket is recommended.

ZIF or Zero Insertion Force sockets are useful for inserting and removing microcontroller chips from DIL sockets as chip legs do not get bent and the circuit board does not get scratched.

We have had a report that ZIF sockets that have legs that will actualy fit into DIL sockets are hard to come by.

Therefore here is a source where you can get these DIL ready ZIF sockets.
