The Lightning Probes
I.C. Test Clips
Razor sharp, tension loaded, piercing pins provide access to DIL IC connection points through the conformal coating expediting electrical contact for power on or power off in-circuit diagnostic testing.
The Piercing Pins are held in place with a specially designed manual clip for ease of handling.
The clip is made of high quality material that returns to form providing a tension spring for securing the Piercing Pins in place.
Precision angles are applied to the Piercing Pins by expert design allowing access to a DIL IC in a high density circuit circumventing the need to remove the IC as well as the conformal coating.
A Viewing Window is centrally located giving easy visual alignment of the Piercing Pins with the electrical contacts of the DIL IC.
The Lightning Probe is adjustable for diverse widths of integrated chips.
An optional illumination light is available in a choice of hue.
A Gantry for securing probe in place can be added for short or long term testing procedures.
The Shawtronics USA Lightning Probe is available for: 4, 8,12,14,16,18, 22, 24, 28, 32, 40 and 64 pin count DIL IC configurations.
Custom designs are also available to meet specialized needs.
Compatibility with standard, off the shelf, shop circuit card testing equipment, as well as professional in circuit diagnostic equipment by companies like abi, Diagnosys, Astronautics Professional, Huntron, National Instruments, as well as any Professional Equipment, makes the Shawtronics USA Lightning Probe an essential tool for any professional electronic diagnostic team, company or technician.
MAXIMIZES PERFORMANCE OF PROFESSIONAL ELECTRONIC DIAGNOSIS EQUIPMENT.
All pins are easily changed if a different tip is desired.
The Lightning Probe is itself easily tested by attaching the ground to a piece of tinfoil and lightly touching the pins simultaneously.
The Shawtronics USA Lightning Probe is a plug in and go tool that doesn't even require a seasoned technician to operate. Be up and running in seconds without the need to remove conformal coating!
The Lightning Probe pays for itself quickly by saving money and making money.
#1~Subtract the cost of removing conformal coating and IC's, materials and labor.
#2~Subtract the cost of damaged circuit cards and integrated chips, time and materials.
#3~Add income earned with 98% increase in profitable use of time saved.
#4~Add increased sales due to increased reputation for exceptional quality and service.

THAN ONE MINUTE, AND ALL DONE WITHOUT REMOVING THE CONFORMAL COATING.
DESIGNED TO ACHIEVE POSITIVE GRIPPING TO THE COMPONENT AND ULTIMATE PIERCING THRU CONFORMAL COATING,
ENSURING CONNECTIVITY.
Frequently Asked Questions
#1~Does using the Lightning Probe ruin the conformal coating?
No, but it will leave pin pricks that need to be recovered with a quick spray of coating.
#2~Can you use Shawtronics USA Piercing Pin IC Testing Clips on circuit cards without conformal coating?
Yes, absolutely! And they are far more efficient than the common IC clip.
#3~Are the Lightning Probe IC Clips hard to use?
No, in fact they are very easy to use, while they are designed for professionals an amateur or a hobbyist could operate them.
#4~How much will my productivity increase with the use of the Lightning Probe?
There is a 98% increase in productivity because of the speed to get up and running.
#5~Does this IC Clip work with irregularities with the IC contacts?
Yes! The pins are spring loaded so irregularities are easily connected.
#6~What if I break it?
All parts of the Lightning Probe are easily and affordably replaceable so you don't have to buy a brand new Clip.
