SOCKETS & RECEPTACLES ET carries several thousand sockets to meet your unique applications. True one-stop shopping with our 7 different socketing systems: Screw Lock, Knob Lock, Z-Lock, Quick Lock, Test & Burn-in, Test Socket, High Speed / High Performance.
	PROTOTYPING TOOLS/ADAPTERS Prototyping board adapters for provide users with flexible options and are available in BGA/CSP, QFN/MLF, SOIC, QFP, PLCC, TSOP, TSOPII package styles, and a variety of pad spacing and lead pitches. Fully assembled & tested prototyping adapters are available in all socket styles.
PROGRAMMING ADAPTERS ET's Adapt-A-Socket programming adapters make programming PLDs, PALs, EPROMs, EEPROMs and Flash memory a snap. Our cross reference by semiconductor manufacturer can assist you in finding the adapter you need.
	MICTOR/SAMTEC ADAPTERS MICTOR breakout boards are created for users needing a high-speed, reliable, low cost solution for testing surface mount and BGA packages which can be difficult to probe directly. In addition, these adapters can bridge the gap between older PCB designs using stake headers and newer PCB designs using MICTOR connectors. SAMTEC - ET's newest probing adapter support the Agilent differential and single ended probes with 100-pin Samtec 0.50mm pitch connectors. The new adapter permits designers easy access, debug and probing ability for fine-pitch individual and hard to reach signals in high-speed electronic designs.
BOARD TO BOARD INTERCONNECTS Bridging the gap, board to board interconnects include molded plugs for connections between PCB and daughterboard, SMT bases, bases with cable for posts and ET's high-speed, pogo pin based interconnect system for applications up to 14.6GHz.
	TEST CLIPS & OSCILLISCOPE PROBES ET's clips and probes range from QFP (JDEC & EIAJ) to the new TSOPII. For ultra high density, ET has Microgrippers (miniature grabbers) for testing dual-in-line IC. Our high performance Microgrippers are capable of providing noise free, high-speed signal measurement up to 10GHz.
LOGIC/SCOPE ANALYZERS ET introduced the first “Bug Katcher” in 1983. Since then we have built a line of tools to assist you in debugging all of the most popular package styles including BGA, CSP, PQFP, DIP and QFN/MLF.
	EMULATOR TOOLS & ADAPTERS These development tools provide users with an interface between their device and an in-circuit emulator. ET offers grabbers, handling tools, test probes and more as accessories to your in-circuit emulator.
	LAB & REWORK ACCESSORIES Can your electronic development lab be improved? Expand your available: BGA Reballing and Rework solutions, heatsinks, insertion tools, soldering iron systems and multimeters.
FIELD CONFIGURABLE ADAPTERS No two designs are the same. With this in mind, ET provides all-purpose adapters for programming, logic analysis, and emulation. These adapters have no non-recurring engineering (NRE) charges and eliminate weeks of waiting.
	ASIC & FPGA DEVELOPMENT SYSTEMS High performance development systems enable system and design engineers to rapidly design prototypes and transition electrical designs into an electronic designs. Users work with CPLDs and FPGAs to gain new skills and advance designs.

Programming Adapters
Programmers normally have DIP sockets. IC normally come in packages other than DIP. Adapters.com solves this by offering a full line of programming adapters thousands of ICs.
Adapters.com Adapter Search will make your search easier.
Logic Analyser Adapters
Logic analyser adapters connect to your target board and allow you to attach logic analyzers or other test equipment. The Logic Anaylser adapters can clip over the device, plug into a socket and allow the IC to be placed in a socket on the top of the adapter, or solder down to a board and allow the IC to be soldered into the top of the adapter.
Accessories
Micro grabbers for testing individual pins on PQFP and TSOP packages, vacuum pens and other accessories.

Lock-Wedge Test Clip Adapters

(Formerly known as the "Delta Probe")
The Lock-Wedge Test Clip is made up of an array of wedge shaped conductors, which make contact by the penetrating between the IC legs.

The Lock-Wedge Test Clip series uses an unique technology to solve the complex problem of monitoring all of the signals at once on quad flat pack (QFP), thin small outline (TSOP), small outline (SOIC), and other fine-pitch IC packages. The line covers several pin counts from 32 pin to 240 pin. Over 25 different Lock-Wedge Test Clip configurations will be available soon.
