Hi there.
I'm currently using "nose pickers" (a friend at work related that
pleasant name) aka XKM grabbers
(http://us.st12.yimg.com/us.st.yimg.com/I/webtronics_2042_10920298) to
attach my low-cost pc-based logic analyzer to some old DIP chips.
They are pretty nice but when you start using a bunch in a row, they can
get pretty cumbersome.
I'm looking for DIP IC test clips for both 40-pin and 48-pin chips.
40-pin doesn't seem too hard to come by, 48-pin seems harder.
Here's a picture of what I'm basically looking for:

They clip on the already socketed IC and provide square male header pins
on the top of the clip to attach.
These are for personal use, and I don't want to spend $100 on clips.
Anyone have a line on cheap clips or happen to have any around you want
to get rid of?
Thanks
Keith
P.S. I can find plenty of online datasheets from various manufacturers
but trying to find a stocking reseller that will sell them onesy twosy
to hobbyists is harder.

I have some of these (that I'm not looking to get rid of :-) and thought I'd
remembered buying them from either Jameco or JDR but can't seem to find 'em
in their web sites, for some reason... :-(
I guess the prevalence of surface-mount has made them a less popular item
these days?

Yeah -- that is what I was thinking too. It's not that they are
completely unavailable, mind you, but the ones I've found are gold
plated ones for $50 a piece. Too rich for my blood --- and overkill
given the application.

Search Mouser.com for 383-R40
Kobiconn IC Test Clips 40 PIN DIP 1: $16.33 , 5: $14.70
I wonder if the size of the 383-R24 is such that you could use two of
them end to end to fit on a 48-pin DIP.
Kobiconn IC Test Clips 24 PIN DIP 1: $11.11, 5: $10.00
3M 923690-48 Test Clips 48- Pin .5/.6 Wide Alloy 1: $40.70

I'm not even sure what sizes I have offhand. I think I got a 14-pin one
first, a cheap one I bought someplace in NYC, I think, and I figured I
could move that a pin if I needed to check a 16-pin part. I'm not sure if I
carried that same thinking over on the bigger ones offhand, but I probably
oughta look and see just what the heck I've got.
I haven't used 'em anywhere near as much as I thought I might, either, but
then I haven't even fired my scope up in ages now, another thing I oughta
fix pretty soon, too. :-)
