IC pin straightener. "What! I don't need this, I'm careful and don't bend my pins!" Well, you need to bend them to get them into the PCB or socket, and they normally come splayed out. This little gizmo works like a charm; wish I'd had it 500 modules ago! Jameco (.com) PN 99362CP, $7.35. Conductive plastic, of course. -- Regards, --/////-- John Blacet Blacet Research http://www.blacet.com ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- For Product Announcements, Specials, Hot Deals, join our mailing List: http://www.blacet.com/mailform2.html
