Trays come in 4-20 cpu sockets. In even numbers.
Small, large, and wide
Crafty people can very carefully cut double-wall trays to single chip trays.
Trays start around a filler each though.
And wequire packaging knowledge.
Don’t get caught up in “designed for xxx cpu”. No generic trays are designed for any specific processor.
