What's its right name and where to buy this ...
Hi everyone,
this came out of my high school drawer, and it is quite useful while measuring values or waveforms from an IC. We would like to buy bigger and "longer" models, but I can't find them on any shop I have written to the maker (Cliff) but with no reply, Does anyone know what's the technical name so that we can narrow the search ? Thank you so much ! Pictures here : IC tool Edoardo & Alberto |

It's an IC test clip. I haven't seen one of those in many a moon, no doubt due to the prevalence of surface mount ICs these days. A web search turned up this link
https://www.mouser.com/ProductDetail/Spa...Q9SA%3D%3D Or from the source https://www.sparkfun.com/products/13153 Hopefully a similar supplier can be found in your locale. Remember kids, "In a democracy, you get the government you deserve." |

Hi Dave,
with these you need to remove the IC from the PCB we want to measure with the IC in place on its PCB (11-12-2020 03:48 PM)Dave Frederickson Wrote: It's a 16-pin DIP Zero Insertion Force (ZIF) socket. Edoardo & Alberto |

Hi, albertofenini
It's 'IC test clip for DIP'. It's currently availabel from 3M and can be purchased at DigiKey. 3M Test clip accesories [pdf] |

I finished High School in 1983, you can call these "vintage"
Searching IC test clip returned a number of vendor including 3M which is good thanks for the help Cliff answered that they no longer produce these ...

I have now found some of them at home.
They remind me of the good old days around 1980, when it was a great job to make a system full of multibus cages with dozens of PALs and tons of TTLs. (Now that kind of system is like a simple coding job that fits into one FPGA) |

RE: What's its right name and where to buy this ...
I would like to buy the 3M model for a 20 pins IC like the anode driver or the cathode driver of a Classic unit
These clips are available in two different widths Is the 0,3” width the right one ? Thanks !!! Edoardo & Alberto |
