SOP16 IC Test Clip, SOP16 to DIP16 Online Test Clip, Suitable for 25 Series Chips, Universal Body Non-Dismantling Programming Clip Test Clamp(SOP16 Clip+Cable+Adapter Board)

I managed to brick the unit in my Mazda Miata doing a recent software upgrade. After some research and failures with other clips I tried this one out.It connected to the chip first time and I was able to flash the chip and save myself $1300 for a new unitMoney well spent even if it was a one time use

This is a great tool to have. The only thing I noticed is sometimes the pins on the clamp will get pushed up. You'll need to push them back or you'll have a weak connection.

Module I got to use this with was defunct. Drivers, apps, and directions did nothing for it. 3 to keep this even.

Perfecto

This thing is crap. Utter crap. The spring is so tight it that it takes two hands to squeeze it open to get on the chip, and then itpops off the chip, the pins are cut at a poor angle so they make it more likely to pop off.To even have a chance of getting it to stay on, *AND* connect, it has to be held in place, and that gets painful after the time it takes to do a read, if that even completes, I wasn't able to get a good read and compare, not even once. complete garbage.

Good SOIC16 test clip, however the adapter it arrived with to connect to the programmer was a DIP8 adapter. Unable to use this product for my SOIC16 chips as intended.

Several Clip Pins are bent and misaligned so some don't contact the IC pins and others short out IC pins.Update: 11/12/2020 Returned and replaced. Replacement seems to be working well.
