Are there SMD-Sockets for 0603 or 0805 size?

[Calvin]

Hi,

I´m searching for SMD sockets for 0603 or 0805 size (resistors and caps).
Something similar to the sockets for SMD-fuses of Littlesfuse (154 series)
Also looking for a Dual-socket for a pair or Rs or Cs.
Does anony know of a source or a manufacturer of such tiny sockets (test-sockets?
Or does anyone know a ´workaround´ with a SMD-socket intended for other useage?
Thanks in advance

I've never heard of anything like this. The only thing remotely like this that I've seen are the fixtures designed to hold SMT components that you're measuring on a component analyzer (HP/Agilent/Keysight, R&S, etc.) these are pretty big things and connect to your analyzer via 4 BNC connectors. If this is what you want, you might find a Chinese clone device on eBay.

If you're looking to socket SMT components on a PCB, I think you're outta luck.

Google says ganged test sockets for 0805 and 0603 are available in China, via the usual platforms (Aliexpress, ...)

If it's for parts selection/testing you could make you own testbed using small test probes made by Ingun, PTR and other companies.
Or try hack up a SOT23-Socket...

Something like these? Maybe can be adapted to smd resistors...

Hi,

I rather thought of something similar to the fuse sockets and clips below.
My own search hasn´t come up with something suitable for 0805 or 0603 though.
It seems that I need to misuse contacts from a connector intended for something different like mini USB or whatever.

One question remains unasked --- WHY do you want to do this?

Hi,

... because I can 😀
Well, actually there's this nagging idea in my head of a Phono Pre with a small headshell flyout.
The sockets would be intended for varying load impedances to the pickup.
I wanted to avoid installing various Rs and Cs and solder jumpers.
