Discrete Opamp Installation Tips & Tricks HEADING_TITLE
 
~
     I have been fielding numerous emails regarding proper discrete opamp installation for my preamps and other modules. I thought I would post a few bits of information to help make this easier for those who do not know. The tips and techniques specified here are only for 2520 style opamps that seat in the Mill-Max sockets that I supply.
     The Mill-Max sockets are very stiff when they are virgin. So stiff that you may get the feeling you will break something if you keep pushing on your open or unpotted DOA. A properly seated DOA is very solid and will typically never come out even when the module is moved/turned around a quite bit.
     A simple way to prep your virgin Mill-Max sockets can be accomplished with a small paperclip and a few minutes of time.

You definitely want to make sure that the paperclip is a little smaller in diameter than the DOA pin. The tape is not necessary. It only demonstrates the depth the paperclip will travel in the socket. That's about .2" (5mm).

Don't twist or turn the paperclip. Just insert it straight and then pull it out. Again, the paperclip will travel down about .2" (5mm).

Simple as that! Now, have some fun and enjoy!
