Types of sockets

Hi,

I've recently decided to purchase a CPLD and have been presented with a dizzying array of socket-type acronyms - PLCC, TSL, DIP, TOS, etc. I was wondering if anyone had a link to a website that had some pictures of these sockets, some of their characteristics, and perhaps common uses.

Thank you,
Avital

Here's a picture for two of them: www.ca-online.com/Product_Training/IC_Sockets/index.asp

I'm sure you can find pictures for the others if you do an advanced search on Google. You may have to look at several sites, I leave that to you :wink:
