Hi all
I am new to these forums.
I have recently started designing small electronics projects, at least until I gain experience then maybe I can move onto more complex circuits.
The first project I am working on is comprised mainly from ICs, and I would like to use IC sockets in the project to make the ICs removable and easily replaced. The problem I am having is that there seem to be many different types of IC socket available and I don't know which ones to choose. I have tried looking at the package information on the data sheets to get some kind of clue. I suspect that one of the ICs I am using requires an 8-PIN DIP socket, but I would prefer to be certain before I order anything.
If anyone can provide any information, it would be appreciated.
Thanks
