3-pin ZIF Breakout

About The 3-pin ZIF Breakout

A better way to 'tap' your three-lead parts.

Hook grips are great and all, but if you've got a batch of a few dozen, a few hundred, or even more parts to test, I think you'll appreciate a more efficient way to test your parts.

That's what this little board is for. I primarily use mine as a semi-permanent breakout interface to a Peak Atlas DCA75 semiconductor analyzer. (see pics). But there are many ways to put this handy board to work. 

There is also an unpopulated 1x3 through hole pad area which can accept standard 2.54mm pin headers or sockets if you'd like to use this breakout with other connecting lead types or in a different context altogether.

It's far from fancy, but a handy addition to your bench nonetheless.

    Earrings "Without a trace"

    When life gives you lemons, make... earrings? After realizing the a mistake I made with a batch of failed PCBs I took to reddit to share my blunder and have a laugh at my own expense. Wasn't long before someone suggested I turn these little lemons into earrings. Long story short - now I sell jewelry. READ MORE...
