Goblinz Posted September 8, 2008 Report Share Posted September 8, 2008 Just remembered this from school. If for whatever reason you are soldering ICs without a DIL socket or even transistors you can dessipate some of the heat and therefore protect the componant a bit by clipping an old style bulldog clip on to the componant.

frailn Posted September 8, 2008 Report Share Posted September 8, 2008 Also used as a coercion device on enemy combatants at Guantanamo...I wonder if something similar to this would work on SMD chips - like for MB FM? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
