POMONA 14-Pin IC Test Clip

The POMONA 14-Pin IC Test Clip is a professional Standard DIP Clip® designed for reliable testing of dual-in-line integrated circuit packages directly on populated PC boards. Its intelligent design features moulded barriers between each contact, which is essential for preventing accidental short circuits during live board probing and debugging. This makes it a critical and safe tool for electronics technicians and engineers working on active circuitry.

Constructed for durability and optimal electrical performance, the clip's contacts are made from spring-tempered nickel silver or gold-plated beryllium copper alloy. This ensures excellent conductivity, reliable signal integrity, and long-lasting spring tension for a secure grip on the IC pins. The robust housing protects the contacts while providing a comfortable and stable interface for your test leads.

A highly practical feature is the open-back design, which allows direct access to the chip's leads for probing with a multimeter or oscilloscope while the clip remains securely attached. This eliminates the need for constant removal and reattachment, streamlining the troubleshooting process. Furthermore, the clip can also be utilised as a safe and effective insertion tool for DIP packages, helping to prevent bent pins during installation.

With its compact dimensions and trusted POMONA quality, this test clip is an indispensable accessory for electronics development, repair, and quality control workbenches. It provides a quick, secure, and professional connection for in-circuit testing and programming of 14-pin DIP components.
