SOP8 SOIC8 test clips: Where in the US can I buy it ?

[Matiw]

Where in the US can I buy the Test Clip shown below ? I bought one EEPROM Programmer with the clip from Amazon; the goods arrived after a month from China with no Power supply and no clip. I tried to buy the c~Clip online but I can not find one located in the US; all are in China from (Amazon, Ebay etc). At the moment my Debit card only works in the US.



Thanks for any info.

Just buy a ZIF SOIC socket for your programmer. They ain't cheap.

it is a good idea buy the same for soic8 chip programming for HDD.

jono-ata/ longlife,

Do you have a link for a US vendor ? Not someone hiding behind a website. Someone I can file a complaint if...

By the way, I want to read the EEPROM in circuit, without desoldering the IC. I think that ZIF SOIC needs desoldering the IC.






Thanks

Google is your friend. Use a search term such as: socket converter DIL8/QFN8-1 (That may not be the exact one you need but it is one you should have).

Dataman and Elnec are listed as suppliers.
