socket for MEMS accelerometer

hi,

I bought an Analog MEMS accelerometer

formatting link
and I'd like to be able to put in on a breadboard for prototyping purposes. Does anyone know what kind of socket is suitable and where I can get it? The pin configuration is a bit unusual: 3 on each long side and 1 on each short side.

thanks, Jon.

Sockets for this sort of package are built on a special semi-custom basis; if you can find one expect it to cost somewhere between $200 and $500.

It is not advisable to socket an accelerometer anyway because you'll get mechanical drift and difficulty in reproducing results. The package is designed to self-align on a PCB by surface tension forces during reflow soldering.
