I have never bought from them, probably never will in the next 5 years. Half the stuff on there I have no freakin' idea what does.</p>

3M has a line of IC sockets that you can get off digikey that are over a buck cheaper than this.<br>
Search for it. The 8pin 3M version is part number 3M5461-ND and only costs $0.21</p>
