A list of Integrated Circuit Package Definitions which will spell out a number of the IC socket acronyms used above is provided on the IC Package Type Definitions page. The page provides both Surface Mount Devices and Through Hole Device Package definitions, it also provides a few pictures for some of the device types.

The through hole devices listed above [DIP, or SIP] may come with pins that are; Solder Tail [Normal board solder], Press Fit Tail [Solderless mount into PCB], Extended [End and side stackable], Wire Wrap [Long pins for wire Wrap operation], or Display [Right angle].
The term ZIF means Zero-Insertion-Force, SMD means Surface-Mount-Device, SMT means Surface-Mount-Technology, DIL means Dual-In-Line, and SIL means Single-In-Line.

Engineering Design Note: Sockets are used for debug, prototype or low volume production. How ever, there are many cases when the IC sockets need to be removed from the design and the chips need to be soldered to the PC board. The sockets add additional inductance [~ 5nH] to the IC pins and mutual capacitance between the pins. Some additional reasons to remove a socket include: Cost [from the addition of the socket], Vibration [ground or air systems], Extreme Temperature [expansion based on -40 to +70 Military Temperature ranges], Moisture issues [the PC needs a Conformal Coating], Logic issues [timing or inductance issues cause by the IC socket package], Requirements [some military specifications may not allow IC sockets], and documentation issues [caused by altering many parts rather then altering one board].

If any of these cases apply consider using JTAG to program the PROM or device.
