Reply to "Narrow Version of DIY 317 Voltage Regulator Board, with Build Files"

Riki, I think the test socket is a brilliant idea, thanks for sharing. As I understand it from our offline discussions, you used an 8-dip socket cut in half lengthwise, then cut one pin off, correct?

This would make it easy to build a one-of board for testing various TO-220 and TO-92 packages. One socket would work for 317T and 317L because they have the same pinouts. Then you could have another socket for 78xx and 78Lxx chips, and maybe others? You could also set the board up with an attached digital voltmeter to make that part easy. Hmmmmm, I think I feel another board design looming....
