PLCC IC Chip Extractor Circuit Board

Spring-Loaded IC Extraction: Designed with a spring-assisted lever mechanism that provides gentle, balanced vertical lift to safely remove surface-mount PLCC and DIP chips from sockets.

Dual Stainless Steel Hooks: Features precision-angled steel hooks that securely grip opposite corners of PLCC socket slots without bending or snapping sensitive IC pins.

ESD-Safe Insulated Body: Molded with anti-static plastic housing to shield sensitive integrated circuits, microcontrollers, and EPROM chips from electrostatic discharge during extraction.

Prevents Socket & Circuit Board Damage: Uniform lifting force eliminates prying with screwdrivers, preventing cracked plastic sockets, lifted PCB copper traces, or bent component leads.

Universal PLCC Socket Compatibility: Engineered to safely extract a wide range of PLCC socket sizes (20-pin up to 84-pin) used across computer motherboards, BIOS chips, and industrial control boards.

Ergonomic One-Handed Operation: Textured, contoured handle grips allow electronics technicians and repair specialists to easily operate the tool with one hand.

Hook Material: Heat-treated stainless steel with precision ground tips.

Body & Handle: Durable ESD-safe ABS plastic housing with an internal steel return spring.

Technical Specifications:

Supported Chip Types: PLCC (Plastic Leaded Chip Carrier) sockets ($20$ to $84$ pins) and standard DIP ICs.

Tool Type: Spring-loaded IC puller / extraction tool.

Usage Advice: Insert the dual stainless steel hooks into the diagonal slots located at opposite corners of the PLCC socket, then squeeze the handles firmly to lift the chip straight up.

Maintenance & Cleaning: Keep metal hook tips free of flux residue and dust. Store in an ESD-safe toolkit or pouch when not in use.

Essential Tool for Electronics Repair & Rework: Position as an indispensable safety tool for PCB repair technicians, BIOS flashing specialists, retro-computing restorers, and hardware engineers.

Highlight Pin Protection & Anti-Static Safety: Emphasize how this tool eliminates costly pin damage and socket destruction compared to using makeshift flathead screwdrivers or standard pliers.

Recommended Cross-Sell Add-ons: Pair with ESD-10 Anti-Static Stainless Tweezers, ESD-15 Anti-Static Stainless Tweezers, 170 Wishful clamp Flush Cutter, and 6Pcs / Set Precision Hobby Knife Metal Handle.
