My ZIF prices are too high on my site (for the lazy) :P

PM me what you want for a little better HMT pricing :)

Digikey also has a $25 minimum unless you want to pay a surcharge :)

I just ordered a bunch of these low profile zifs from cascade surpluss electronics. They work just as well as the blue Aries ones that everyone uses, but are only $2.50. Best deal i've found, and you dont have to order in bulk to get it.

That lever is a pain in the ass if you don't use two DIP sockets.

I just use one generic dip socket on the board, and havnt had any trouble with these. It clears the 74hc373 fine. It easy to unlatch it with your fingernail.

really? i use to use those, and i never used a dip socket at all with them, just moutned them straight to the board, now i use the big screw down 3m zifs, those things are the bomb, they love the ostrich and romulators and have no problem closing on them. the black ones above won't close on an ostrich at all if i recall.
