Re: Slightly OT: What are these called?

2017-10-16 by dale.chatham@...

These look to me like the metal socket part that goes into the plastic ic socket you are more familiar with. I've managed to get the metal out of one of those and they look identical, without the metal strip across the top.

I suspect these are the bulk form and are put into the plastic part of the socket via machine. Is there a catch on them that would catch on part of the socket and make it difficult to remove?
