What socket would be correct for the Adafruit Pro Trinket - 5V 16MHz?

I'm not sure what you mean by 'socket'. Are you looking for a chip socket to match the pins on the sides, or something else?

Re: Socket for Adafruit Pro Trinket - 5V 16MHz
So I am very new to electronic design and want to have the option to replace a pro trinket when I screw up and fry it with too much current. I have done this once already and am glad I bought three of them!
I would like to solder the pins on the board and use a perma-board for the other components.
Do the dimensions of the board support being socketed?

Ah, I see what you mean.
This is the stuff you want: https://www.adafruit.com/products/598
You can mount that into a Perma-Proto, then plug and unplug a Pro Trinket with pin header. You can also put the pin header in the Perma-Proto and solder the female header to the Pro Trinket. Either way will work.
The best way to do it is to attach whatever kind of header you want to the Pro Trinket, then use that as an alignment jig for the header that goes into the Perma-Proto. Press the header for the board into/onto the header already connected to the Pro Trinket, then fit the pins through the holes of the Perma-Proto. That guarantees the correct spacing, and prevents any tilting or racking that could make it hard to connect the Pro Trinket to the Perma-Proto after everything's soldered in place.
