SOP8 Clip SOIC8 IC Test Probe Line — precise, reliable IC programming and testing Key benefits Precise alignment and secure contact: contoured probe design with a retractable stop automatically aligns probe pins to chip leads, reducing misalignment and contact failures. Reliable connection with common USB programmers: designed for secure use with EZP2019, EZP2023, and TL866II programmers to read, write, and verify ICs reliably. Two size options for fit and flexibility: available in 150mil and 208mil options to match SOP8/SOIC8 package pitch and board layouts. Faster, safer programming: the automatic alignment and stable clip reduce setup time and lower the risk of bent leads or damaged chips during programming. Features and attributes Function: SOP8 clip probe line for incircuit IC programming, testing, and firmware reads/writes. Compatibility: specifically compatible with USB programmers such as EZP2019, EZP2023, and TL866II. Size options: 150mil or 208mil versions available (optional) to suit different IC footprints. Design: contoured clip with retractable stop ensures consistent pintolead contact and repeatable positioning. Performance: improves programming efficiency and success rate for batch and field work by minimizing alignment errors. Typical applications / use scenarios Motherboard BIOS programming: clip directly onto SOIC8 BIOS chips on desktop or server motherboards for firmware updates, reprogramming, or recovery without desoldering. Automotive electronics maintenance: read and write EEPROM/flash on automotive control modules for diagnostics, tuning, or module replacement. Industrial and work: program or verify chips on industrial control boards, consumer electronics, and embedded devices during manufacturing, , or prototyping. Why choose this probe line Saves time by eliminating the need to remove chips for programming. Increases reliability of read/write operations through automatic, repeatable alignment. Compatible with widely used USB programmers, enabling straightforward integration into existing workflows. What's included / notes SOP8 Clip SOIC8 IC Test Probe Line, available in 150mil or 208mil option. Designed for incircuit programming and testing; confirm package pitch before ordering to ensure proper fit.
