[volt-nuts] PCBs with ceramic substrates

[Mark Sims]

Not always..  A guy I worked with was pulling a ceramic 40 pin dip out of a socket when it broke...  sliced his finger to the bone.   There was initially some concern that it was a BeO ceramic.   Checking with the manufacturer showed it was not.  I checked the socket afterwards, and it seemed normal and had no problems releasing other chips.
