Where to buy "high density" 0.70" DIL sockets

[Arild P.]

A couple of months ago I asked about a special "high density" 1.78mm
(0.70") lead spacing IC socket for a non-standard IC and was told here
that I could get them from Digikey. Here's the catalog page:
http://dkc3.digikey.com/PDF/T062/0335.pdf
(It's the 28 pin socket, Digikey part no. ED22284-ND, under the "Solder
tail, open frame" section on that page).

Not living in the United States and seeing that Digikey adds US$ 6 for
non-US orders in addition to shipping costs (they don't even say how
much shipping is), are there other places where I can get the same IC
socket, preferrably in Europe, or somewhere they don't overcharge you?

Where do you live ?

I've bought 0.7" 'shrink dip' types from RS Components before. Farnell
probably sell them too.

I've had a look at both sites now, but couldn't find that particular
component.
It's part no. 117-93-428-41-005000 at Mill-Max, the manufacturer
(http://www.mill-max.com/sockets/so_...ue&SEARCHPLATINGOPTIONS=&SEARCH_NUMBEROFPINS=).

RS, order code 228-0113, 0.4" pitch across the socket according to the
item's title, 28 pin shrink dip (0.7" pitch), seems like a valid
replacement. Although, when I look at that part their specs page suggests
0.6" cross-pitch. I think that will just be a typo.

Still, they're in packs of 24, costing £27.85, so it's either buying
one of those and being left with over 20 unused sockets, or paying more
or less the same for a couple of sockets from DigiKey or Mouser in the
States. Either way it seems to be a very expensive affair for a few IC
sockets.

 

[Arild P.]

Does anyone have a couple left over which they'd be willing to sell?
It seems too much to have to buy a couple of dozen sockets when I will
only ever need a few.

Why not make your own by using 267-7416 or 267-7387
which are single line sockets you can thern make any pitch and any lengh

That was the first thing I tried.
Since the pin spacing was too wide I took each "pin" out of its plastic
railing, but even then they were too wide, so I filed away the sides of
them (quite a lot of work) which was a real hassle and didn't give any
good results.
So this time around I want something that works better.

The manufacturer of those sockets gives away free samples, but
unfortunately only to companies dealing with electronics and not
private individuals such as myself :-(

Yes, that should do it!
One socket should be enough to make two 28 pin sockets.

I've visited the website but I'm a bit puzzled as it looks like it's
only open for businesses. I've registered with a username/password, but
I can't quite make out how to pay for the items and how much postage
will be. It seems like you need to create some sort of business account
for payment and not the usual credit card etc.
Have you dealt with them before, as a private individual?

Useful page, it describes breifly the various UK suppliers most likely to
help. CPC and Farnell are the most likely. Farnell have a minimum order
requirement but it's worth taking the opportunity to get a few other things
you might not otherwise have got.

Thanks, yes -looks pretty useful.
However, thinking about it I think the easiest and cheapest way for me
to get a couple of those sockets would be to find someone in the
electronics business who could order a free sample, let me have a
couple, then keep the rest (I think there are 20 in a package).
There might even be a little money in it for whoever could help out ;-)
Any takers?
