Handy Tips

1. Match the count: pick a socket with the same pin count and pitch as your IC.
2. Notch alignment: orient the socket's notch to match the IC's pin-1 marker before soldering.
3. Solder first: solder the empty socket to the board, then insert the IC afterwards to protect it from heat.
4. Chip protection: sockets let you remove sensitive ICs during testing or firmware swaps.
5. Bent pins: gently straighten IC legs against a flat surface before seating into the socket.
6. Organisation: keep the compartment box sorted by size so the right socket is easy to grab.
