This socket is good for any SOIC/SOP Wide-body 16 pin chip in a 300mil wide body. Simply flip open the latch, insert the chip, and flip down the latch to secure it in place. The chip is held securely against gold 'fingers' (no, stop, Mr. Bond! It's not that Goldfinger!) in the socket. The bottom footprint matches the same SOIC footprint so you can solder this onto an...

You know those ZIF sockets we have for DIP chips? Well these are just like that but for SMT parts! Yeah, that's right, now you can program and test out your favorite new parts in SOIC-8 packages. This test socket is good for any SOIC/SOP "Narrow" 8 pin chip in a 150mil wide body. Simply press down on the top, place the chip in carefully and then release to latch the...

This SOIC Test Clip is a great way to test and connect to Flash memory, EEPROMs or other 8-SOIC chips, with pinpoint accuracy and NO soldering! It's sort of like an alligator clip but with 8 metal teeth that grip nicely onto normal or wide SOICs. So handy for when you need to probe an I2C, SPI or QSPI connection - or burn firmware to a chip without desoldering. The...
