Re: Fluke Pods to Turned Pin Sockets - Help !!

Another quick update....

I've made a BIG chunky adaptor up for the time being.... I will replace the
Socket Strips on the Top (to take the Pod) with a Zif Socket when it arrives
from Ebay Land.... (which is why I've left plenty on tail length on the
Wire Wrap IC socket )

The Pins to the UUT can be easily replaced if and when they fail, as I've
used Header Strips.... You just cut say 4 or 5 out, and replace.... I also
chose to put the FAT ends of the pins into my wire wrap socket, and the thin
pins to the UUT (so they come out first !!!)

Pictures of my effort are here.... Its VERY sturdy and doesn't flex... and
you get get your fat fingers in to remove it easily....

Sorry for poor quality, but they are not bad for my old camera phone... Must
buy a digital camera sometime, lol !!!

Does the Job well for now, and should last me a long while..... Do you guys
like this idea ??

Cheers, Colin
