[sdiy] chip socket style opinions...

[James R. Coplin]

My local surplus supplier has some great milled, gold plated chip sockets
cheap. They are the kind with the round hole for the chip legs.
 
My question is, what are people's opinions on these versus the traditional
leaf type contacts? Most of the chips are flat sided pins so it would seem
the leaf style provide more surface contact. OTOH, I have had replace many
of these type sockets over the years as they loose their spring and then
they definitely don't have any contact.  I've never had to replace one of
the milled, round holed sockets yet so they definitely seem to work.  What
does everyone else think? Later!
