Extra care is required the first time you install the Clip. Since the chip package has not had previous intrusion
between the legs, more force than usual is required during installation. This is due to the fact that there is
excess solder from the plating process on the sides of the legs. Once the Clip has been inserted on a chip
package far less force will be required.
Use grounded wrist straps and mats when installing or performing any service to your Clip adaptor.
Electrostatic discharge can damage electronic components.
1. Clean the Clip as described above.
2. Allow the Clip to seek its own alignment by resting it on the chip package.
3. Rotate the Clip back and forth, to allow a tactile indication when the sharp tips of the contacts are cor-
rectly positioned between the legs of the chip package.
Installation of the Clip with any improper alignment can result in damage to the chip package legs and the
Clip itself. Avoid damage by ensuring proper positioning as shown. If a transition board or flexible cable
are attached to the Clip during installation, the tactile response is diminished and greater care must be
taken with initial positioning.

1. Use a common toothbrush to remove any dust
between the contacts. The individual contacts are
engineered to be durable; nevertheless take appro-
priate care when brushing them to avoid damage.
2. Use precision dusting cleaner (also known as inert
dusting gas or compressed air in a can) to remove
debris loosened by the brushing.
