Hi all,
I am in the process of switching to SMT parts to save
on endless drilling for a run of devices (100+) and to
further reduce the size of the device. I am working
with 12f629s, so its only a 8 pin SOIC, but I need a
way to program the buggers before I solder them in the
circuit. ICSP is not really an option because of the
size and compactness of the device (even bare board).
There is definitly no room for headers.

Is there any kind of socket or clip or something I can
use to connect to the bare SOICs long enough to
program and verify them? The only thing I have found
is for DIPs.

Any experiences with this is apreciated :-)

TIA,
  Ben Hencke
