[sdiy] Re: AMP Diplomate IC sockets question

[Harry Bissell]

I'm satisfied with either the cheap or expensive ones, although they have fallen a bit
in quality in recent years, imho. I think they are using a slightly thinner material.
Still, the dual leaf design has good retention and I've had no troubles.

Harry,

when you recommended the AMP Diplomate IC sockets, were you
thinking of the cheap ones ? (Part number 1-390261-2, open frame,
tin-plated phosphor bronze contacts.)
