Socketed dip chips have a habit of slowly walking out
of the sockets from
years of heat expansion and contraction when the machine is switched on and
off.

Hi
I found that, contrary to what one might think, when the pins
are bent outward, as would be for auto insertion, they tend to
work out over time. I found that if the leads are straight
they stay in well.
This walking out seems to happen, regardless of the type
of socket used.
If the pins are not perpendicular to the package. bend them
straight before inserting them.
Dwight
