Does anyone know what they are called or have a part number? It's the little bitty sockets for the crystal pins.

    Another option which works is hacking a machined IC dip socket, cut the little pin out and use that. I saw that here somewhere and it works.

    I did that on the [original] Propeller Platform.

    Ditto here. My M44D40+ module uses machined pin low profile sockets from Samtec headers. Very high retention force, so the connection is solid.

    Here is a DigiKey pn
    ED90096-ND & ED90095-ND
    I bought cheaper ones from Future Electronics but the last time they shipped me 2 pins instead of 200. Ouch!
