Strong 813 test socket

[rendoman]

Hi all!
I built this socket from 12mm thick Teflon round rod. Screws are M3 stainless.
The purpose is to have a strong, stable, accurate and well insulated test socket.
I needed something able to resist to temperature and voltage, above all the socket have to keep locked the tube even in vertical position with no yielding.

Material needed:

- 1,5mm Teflon slice, 70mm dia
- Heptagonal pattern
- Spring contacts x7
- M3x10mm screws and nuts x7

Equipment:

- Lathe
- table drill
- Bits and basic equipment
