Get a grip on your application with this IC test clip from 3M. Its spring-loaded contacts clamp firmly onto the legs of an IC, allowing signals to pass seamlessly between test equipment and an attached circuit. The open-nose design gives you probe access directly at the DIP pins, for a precision connection.

• Gold-plated body material provides effective resistance to corrosion
• Operating temperature range of -55°C to +165°C for use in challenging environments
• Contact comb fits between DIP package leads, so there's no risk of electrical shorting

• Electronics troubleshooting and repair
• Production testing
• Prototyping experimentation

DIP units consist of two rows of pins arranged in a straight line, with the pins on either side of the package spaced equidistantly. This provides a compact and reliable solution for connecting ICs to a circuit board.
