Question about IC sockets.

[cthulhudarren]

I am having trouble with a voltage regulator build (but have not collected everything I need to post an official "Help!" post yet) but I want to ask about socketing the regulator IC. I'm using a Pentawatt L200 and it has 5 pins and looks like this:



My suspicion right now is the IC, but I did not socket it because I had nothing appropriate for it. My question is that I want to redo this circuit using a socket but I don't know what socket to buy, does anyone have any idea what type of socket would work for one of these IC's?

Right now I have these in my Mouser shopping cart:

Thanks in advance,

IMO, not a good idea to socket components that pass high current.

I'm setting it up to not exceed 450mA even in fault condition. Is that still too much?
