Diode Socketing

Hello everyone!

Another novice question: What kind of sockets do I use for socketing diodes and/or other two pin components?

Thanks!

They're easy to trim to the size you need.

You can snip them for single to multi-socket use. In a pinch, I have used this to socket ICs or transistors.

You may have to crinkle the diode leads a bit to make them fit snugly in the sockets.
