I would suggest one from Augat or Advanced Interconnects. They are not
really "sockets", but "adaptors".

What you do is solder your LCC (leadless chip carrier) onto an adaptor that
has circuits routed onto pins.  Then you can use pin sockets on the board,
or solder the pins directly into the board.

AMP makes a real LCC socket, but the pins of the socket are short and round,
not intended for wire wrapping.
