As I have amassed several thousands of these beauties, I also have to spec them. While a PEAK is perfectly acceptable it left me with a nagging feeling of dissatisfaction.
I came up with a solution and had my cabinet maker CNC a billet of aluminum. Fischer Electronic manufacture some really nice transistor sockets, but sadly no ZIP-7. I had a special one made and transferred pins into it.
A ZIF socket kind of fulfills all my TO-92 needs.
Two five pin Neutrik sockets communicate with a Keithley SMU for complete verification of specs needed.
Pretty nifty.
