Sockets

We probably have the largest range of sockets and accessories in the UK, available from stock that may be bought in small quantities (minimum quantity is 1). Most of them are made in China and are high glazed white ceramic.

Sockets may be selected in one of three ways

  • Part Number eg SK9CC22
    This will display that specific part and any variations of it. Entering less of the part number, will widen the search, for instance
    SK9C will display all the 9-pin ceramic sockets.
    SK9 will display all the 9-pin sockets, whether ceramic or plastic, and all relevant accessories.
  • Base Reference eg B9A
    This will display everything relating to B9A valves (such as ECC83) all the bases, whether ceramic or plastic, chassis or PCB, as well as all the shielding cans, retainers etc. AO8 will do the same for everything relating to Octal valves (such as EL34).
  • Socket Group
    If, for instance, you are specifically looking for B9A chassis mounting sockets or Accessories for Octal sockets, the the quickest way is to use the table below. A-G at the end of any part number indicates that the metal work, including usually brackets and shields, is gold plated.
