I am searching for an answer to a problem that deals with socketed
components. During shipment socketed components will vibrate loose.
Has anyone found a reasonable answer to this problem? Is there a
bar or retaining piece that hooks a part to the socket avalable?
How are other companies handling socketed parts?

I would appreciate any information on this subject. Please send it
by mail.

Thanks.

Unless this is a particularly severe application, you should get
enough retention force from machine-screw sockets of the Augat type.
Anything less is just taking a chance both electrically and mechanically.
