Thank y'all. It is getting harder and harder to find stuff on the Farnell web site, the leisurely speed at which it works not helping. Fortunately I have one of the last of the paper catalogues which is much easier and quicker to search and |I soon located the part. Curious how increased technology actually slows things down so much throughout life. Shopping is a good example. Checkouts at small stores used to be much faster before they introduced electronic tills. __________________________________________ David C Brown 43 Bings Road Whaley Bridge High Peak Phone: 01663 733236 Derbyshire eMail: dcb.home@gmail.com SK23 7ND web: www.bings-knowle.co.uk/dcb *Sent from my etch-a-sketch* On Tue, 23 Oct 2018 at 15:01, AB Pearce - UKRI STFC < alan.b.pearce@stfc.ac.uk> wrote: > Yep, find them at RS as well, here in the UK. > > https://uk.rs-online.com/web/c/connectors/ic-sockets/dil-headers/?searchT= erm=3Ddip%20component%20header > > Farnell also has them, but I cannot separate the search out from DIL > sockets. > > > > -----Original Message----- > From: piclist-bounces@mit.edu On Behalf Of > Byron Jeff > Sent: 23 October 2018 13:32 > To: Microcontroller discussion list - Public. > Subject: Re: [EE].
