A. There is no current printed catalog. We have decided to concentrate our resources on an extensive and completely informative web site. Our next catalog will be in the form of a line-card. There is a pricelist in .pdf format here. Clicking on a part number on this web site will get you a window that includes the price, photo, and datasheet link for that item. |

Q.
Are replacement test sockets available and can
I just purchase test sockets?
A. Yes, virtually all of our adapters have replaceable
sockets and we keep a small supply in stock. See your
adapter data sheet for the socket part numbers and type them into our search box at the top of any page.
We
can order non-stock sockets for you but we are not an
authorized or stocking distributor of sockets. See resources/links
for suggested sources.

Q.
What are the differences between auto-eject and lidded
sockets?
A. This is mostly a matter of personal preference.
Auto-eject sockets are convenient and less expensive but
the
pins may become damaged by improper device insertion.
A vacuum pen should be used to insert and remove
devices
from the sockets. In a pinch a piece of tape on a pencil
eraser makes a workable insertion and removal
device.
Lidded sockets are more durable and less likely to be
damaged by fingertips but they are also larger and
we
do not recommend them for gang programmers.
