==Universal test sockets== [[File:Picstart plus.jpg|thumb|right|Programming device for a [[PIC microcontroller]], with a dual in-line ZIF socket]] Standard [[Dual in-line package|DIP packages]] come in a number of widths (measured between pin centers), with 0.3 in (7.62 mm) and 0.6 in (15.24 mm) being the most common. To allow the design of programmers and similar devices that support a range of devices universal test sockets are produced. These have wide slots into which the pins drop allowing devices of differing widths to be inserted.
