SOIC8 SOP8 Flash Chip IC Test Clip, Socket Adapter
180.00 EGP
A SOIC8/SOP8 test clip and socket adapter allows easy in-circuit programming, reading, and flashing of 8-pin SPI flash memory chips (like Winbond, Macronix, SST) without desoldering. Ideal for BIOS/UEFI chip repairs, router mods, and embedded system debugging.
Description
🔹 Key Features
✅ SOIC8 (150mil) & SOP8 (208mil) Compatibility – Works with common flash chips (e.g., W25Q80, MX25L8005, AT25DF041).
✅ Spring-Loaded Test Clip – Securely attaches to chips without soldering.
✅ 1.27mm Pitch Socket Adapter – For direct breadboard or programmer connection.
✅ Wired for SPI (VCC, GND, MISO, MOSI, SCK, CS, WP, HOLD) – Compatible with CH341A, Raspberry Pi, FlashROM, USB SPI programmers.
✅ Durable & Compact – Lightweight, portable, and reusable.
🔹 Common Uses
-
Recovering bricked devices (motherboards, routers, modems).
-
Dumping/flashing BIOS/UEFI firmware.
-
Arduino/ESP8266/ESP32 external memory programming.
-
Reading/writing EEPROM, Flash, or serial memory chips.
🔹 How to Use
-
Power off the target device (avoid short circuits).
-
Align the clip with the chip’s pinout (check orientation!).
-
Connect to a programmer (e.g., CH341A, Raspberry Pi).
-
Read/write using software (FlashROM, AsProgrammer, etc.).
⚠️ Troubleshooting Tips
-
No connection? Check for proper pin alignment and clean oxidized pins.
-
3.3V only! Do not use on 5V chips without a level shifter.
-
Unstable reads? Secure the clip and verify wiring.
