Re: [motm] motmized blacet kits - to socket or not

2002-03-21 by J. Larry Hendry

Questions:
Is it easy to tell the difference between double and single leaf spring
sockets?
Which of these are supplied in the Blacet Kits?
I have a bunch of the machined circular pin sockets I bought for proto work.
Should I toss my leaf springs and use these?

Of course, I know it is all opinionated.  But, I do value the opinions of
others and appreciate the diversity of viewpoints.
:)  Damn, that sounds politically correct.

I do not care for leaf-spring sockets.  I've had a few fail
on me such that a pin was in the socket, but not contacting
 the spring.  Double-leaved are better, but nothing beats
machined pins with circular spring sleeves (lower
capacitance, too).
