PLCC PROBING ADAPTERS

PLCC Probing Adapter w/J-lead base
PLCC Probing Adapters allow in-circuit socketing and probing of PLCC packages. Our unique, low profile "Lo-Clips" provide for clip-on, in place probing. "Carrier adapters" utilize interchangeable bases, available in solderable J-lead, PLCC plug, or clip-on versions. Socket probes house PLCC or PGA devices and plug into PLCC sockets.


PLCC Probing Adapters

Ironwood offers several types of PLCC probing adapters, including PLCC socket probes and our unique one-piece "PLCC LoClips". Our multi-piece "Carrier Adapter" systems consist of an interchangeable PLCC emulation base and a probe board that provides test points and a socket to carry the device.
PLCC Carrier Adapters

Our two piece PLCC Carrier Adapters incorporate pluggable bases that are available in solderable J-lead, PLCC plug, or clip-on versions. ZIF or production sockets are used to house the PLCC device on the upper probe board assembly. These adapters may be ordered without test points.

PLCC LO-CLIPS

Clip-On PLCC Probing (click for pic) Our unique "PLCC Lo-Clips" are easy to use, clip on probe boards. Simply plug the probe board onto a surface mounted, in-circuit PLCC device and start testing. The gold plated test points on the very low profile -02 series parts (pictured) are accessible from the side, while the -01 series present top accesssible test points.

PLCC Socket Probes

PLCC Socket Probe Our PLCC socket probing adapters plug into PLCC sockets and provide access to all signals at gold plated, 0.025" square test points. The device being tested is housed in a production PLCC socket on the adapter.
