I fail to see the point here, who would put a socket into a socket? These are meant to be soldered into boards, not stacked one on top another.kubeek:
Well the shape and orientation does actually matter because if the shape was the same for example but the orientation was 90 degrees rotated, it would fit in a standard dual wipe socket (not a machine tool socket though). That's what i was hoping for in the first place.
The wide of each pin is about 50 percent wider than a standard dual wipe socket, and the thickness of the metal used to make the pin is also about 50 percent thicker. So look at a standard socket and multiply the width and thickness by 1.5 and that's pretty close to the ZIF socket pin dimensions.
You can also see how nutty this looks when it's plugged in.

On a bright side, it wouldn've fit there directly anyway.
I'd recognize that PCB anywhere.... that's a PICkit 1 FLASH Starter Kit.
My guess is that Microchip thought the turned-pin socket would be sufficient and didn't expect a ZIF being used, especially considering the placement of the cap, resistors, diode, tact-switch and trim-pot, as NorthGuy observes.
I also realize that there are in-circuit programming possibilities but i wanted to do it this way.
I am still open to other ideas though.
