Re: [motm] Sockets vs. soldering ICs directly to PCB?
2001-03-10 by imorpheusl@aol.com
if you have to remove ICs frequently (while making a circuit, for example).
As far as taking ICs out of a pc board, it's easier with a socket, but using
a decent desoldering pump definetly helps. They're between $6-8 and a very
good investment. When it comes to the technical differences between soldering
an IC to a board or socketing it I have nooooo idea :P
