Frequently asked questions
What is this socket used for?
It is used for chip programmers and for testing ICs, so you can insert and remove a chip many times without bending its pins.
How do I seat a chip correctly?
Raise the lever, align pin 1 of the chip with the socket's pin 1 marking, drop the chip in without force, then lower the lever to latch it.
