Hi
For testing on prototype with small SMD components I normally clip off a leaded pin and solder it on the component
I need very small clips to attach with small diameter wire to have very little mechanical stress on the components
Anyone got a good reference?
(sometimes I use enameled copper wire, but it takes longer to set up)
Regards
Klaus
I could buy this, but 11 USD for a clip seems a bit high:
Logic analyser test probes? Cheap as chips on eBay.
Wire wrap wire.
Years ago I picked up some TP grabbers from digikey. The were $35 for 10p s. Now they are 10 bucks each. They are good for soic size stuff. Now I am looking for ridged arms that can hold my singer sewing needles in place. Sort of what Pico offers. The micro grabbers are too big for the smaller pitch devices. I tend to add pads for probing to work around the fine pitch probing issue.
Cheers
I normally strip #26 tinned stranded wire and use the individual strands.
