Ava K. ★★★★★

The lever mechanism works smoothly and the 2.54mm spacing matches my breadboard perfectly, saving me from bending any more pins.

Leo ★★★★★

Finally, a socket that doesn’t make me cringe every time I swap a chip — the lever action is smooth and genuinely zero-force, so my delicate ICs survive repeated testing. The 2.54mm pitch lines up perfectly with my breadboard prototypes, and the latch holds firm once closed.

John E. ★★★★★

The 28-pin ZIF socket snugly holds my ICs without any bending, and the lever mechanism feels sturdy and smooth to operate. Very happy this saves my delicate chips from damage.
