IC Test Clip - SOIC 8-Pin

The IC Test Clip from Sparkfun is specifically designed for 8-pin small outline integrated circuits (SOIC). It offers a secure connection to all chip leads on an 8-pin SMD SOIC, facilitating hands-free testing for ease and convenience.

The test clip features two sets of gold-plated contacts. The upper contacts are designed for attaching wiring, while the lower contacts are for the 8-pin IC. This design allows for easy set-up and testing. Simply secure your chosen IC in the lower contacts and connect female terminated jumper wires to the upper contacts, which are spaced 2.54mm apart.

The IC Test Clip's unique properties make it an essential tool for anyone working with 8-pin SOICs. Its hands-free operation allows you to focus on the task at hand, while its secure connection ensures accurate and reliable results. The gold-plated contacts provide excellent conductivity, ensuring optimal performance.

Not only is the IC Test Clip a practical tool, but it's also a time-saver. Its easy-to-use design allows for quick set-up, so you can get right to testing. Whether you're a professional or a hobbyist, the IC Test Clip is a valuable addition to your toolkit.
