Abstract

A socket for a dual-in-line electronic package. The socket is plugged into a printed circuit board having dual-in-line arrays of holes therethrough, and an electronic package is removably plugged into the socket. Several alternative means are disclosed to prevent undesired wicking of the solder into the socket contact cavities above the holes in the printed circuit board when the socket is wave soldered to the board.
