HiLetgo 2pcs SOIC8 SOP8 to DIP8 EZ Programmer Adapter Socket Converter Module with 150mil

I needed a good socket to clone a GMC 2007 Envoy Denali EEPROM 95040 chip (SOIC8) and this socket holds the chip very securely and the contacts are reliable. I duplicated 5 additional spares just for fun and this socket never missed a beat. BTW, before using these, I bought and tried the "clip on" IC clamps which are sold to clamp onto a SOIC8 that is mounted on the PC board. These clamps constantly let go, fall off, and the connections are electrically unreliable/noisy. I returned those and use these instead. It's a bit of work to swap out the chips but if you have the skills, this "ziff" holder is exactly what you need to copy/clone the EEPROM related to your car's VIN number for the Body Control Module. All good !! No towing to the dealer required anymore - not to mention saving about 500 bucks or more.

Hello All,Out of the bag, these products appear to be well made... AND, you get two of these for the cost which is a great value! Today, I went to assemble my programming/debugger adapter board and noticed that this socket adapter did not fit easily into the DIP-8 PCB footprint. Measuring the pin spacing on the adapter board, I noticed that it was NOT the common 300 mil spacing found on DIP-8 sockets. The pin spacing was 287 mils. Fortunately, I was able to carefully force the pins into my programming adapter. It would be nice if the seller could list this specification on or near the product page.Best regards,AB

the adapters look of good quality and perfectly clamp the chip, I used one of them to program PIC12F510 mcu without any problem.

These are very inexpensive and should not be used in a serious engineering environment but for occasional hobby use you can get by. The biggest problem is the legs of the IC do not always line up correctly. I typically have to nudge the IC around a bit under the microscope before releasing the clamp.

It works well. What else is there to say? I use it with my XGecu t56 programmer, and it works. Far more convenient than soldering the chip onto a carrier.

These are great and inexpensive but make sure you need the narrow type. I need wide for my attiny85v so had to place a 2nd order.

Lower quality than expected especially on injected plastic body. Will not last many uses as I needed.

Makes programming SOIC-8 Chips a Breeze vs trying to solder or lay them down on a SOIC-8 breakout board.

問題なく使えました

ちょっと、使いにくい。でも安いから。

150mil専用であることに注意してください。（パッケージ部分が約5mm x4mm の縦長となります）挿入が若干渋めですので、ピンセットよりラジオペンチの方が作業しやすいかもしれません。クリップする際の感覚は素晴らしく、電極の接触についても安心できそうな形状です。prime対応ということで若干高めの価格価格になっていますが、配送が早いのでこの点については文句ありません。

3品同梱だったから、と云う訳では無いと思いますが、クッション材付き封筒による簡易包装のみではピン曲がりの発生は避けられないのかも。致命的なものでは無かったので修正は出来ました。

業務でEEPROMの書込みで使用しています。跳ね上げ式より使い易く、接触不良が少ない様です。新品ＩＣで、数百回以上は十分書けています。同じ様なＩＣ形状幅150milと２００milタイプが有りますので、SOP8　広い／狭いは要注意です。ピンセットが入りづらい事もありＩＣ上側の止め板は抜けますので、（自己責任）で外して使っています。この価格で入手出来るのは驚きです。プチプチ入りで郵送なので、多少の足の曲がりは仕方無いと思いますが、私の買ったものは、足がスポンジに刺さっていて問題有りませんでした。
