Hi For testing on prototype with small SMD components I normally clip off a leaded pin and solder it on the component I need very small clips to attach with small diameter wire to have very little mechanical stress on the components Anyone got a good reference? (sometimes I use enameled copper wire, but it takes longer to set up) Regards Klaus -- Klaus
Where to buy tiny test clips?

The were $35 for 10p s. Now they are 10 bucks each. They are good for soic size stuff. Now I am looking for ridged arms that can hold my singer sewing needles in place. Sort of what Pico offers. The micro grabbers are too big for the smaller pitch devices. I tend to add pads for probing to work around the fine pitch probing issue.
