When IC Clips Don't Fit

Lightning Probe Systems Do!

     Tired of using a single probe to test small surface mount devices that IC Test Clips can't fit and have 100 contact points?  Ever lose your place and have to recount?  Do your eyes get weary?

     Shawtronics USA SMD Lightning Probe Systems makes all that go away with an expertly designed probe system made to fit the very devices you need to test.  A "Final Line Guide Plate" that fits around the embodiment of the smd guarantees fast alignment.

     Simply orient the shape of the probe with the shape of the device package and press down and you have connectivity on all contact points!

     No need to remove conformal coating or test each contact individually.  A few moments and it's done!
