Title: Where to buy correct sized SIP sockets
Post by: biocalves on Wed, 04 May 2016, 11:56:34

Hi, I plan on SIP modding all of my newer boards (Ergodox Infinity first as that's coming in early next week) I pick up but was wondering where to get the ones that are long stemmed and low profile that won't cause me headaches during installation.

I know Zeal sells them but I'm looking for them still in their plastic housing and want to buy in relative bulk.

Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

Thanks guys, I stumbled around and ordered a couple hundred for less than $10. Let's see how well they work when they come in a couple of weeks.

I found a buy link on Walmart for $6 and ordered it, which turned out to be straight pins, and I went back to check and turns out I misread the sale, so that was on me.

I did end up ordering from aliexpress for $11. I ordered not too long ago so I have yet to receive them.
