I'm mostly a software person, so this might be a super basic question. I wanna connect to an SOP8 flash chip. I see many recommendations for the Pomona clips, but that one is labeled SOIC8. I can't seem to find a consistent source as to if these two mean the same thing or if the SOIC8 clip will work for SOP8. Should the Pomona SOIC8 clip work on SOP8?

Probably not. You should compare the dimensions shown on the datasheet for the test clip to the dimensions shown in the datasheet for the flash chip.

In that case, do you have any recommendations for an SOP8 test clip? I can't seem to find any clips that are specifically for SOP8. Pretty much everything says SOIC8/SOP8, which is probably not accurate based on your answer. – ezkobepz Jul 08 '20 at 18:32

Well, you should compare the dimensions in their datasheets. That's really the only answer. – Elliot Alderson Jul 08 '20 at 21:12

They're basically the same package...some of the tolerances are slightly different, but the clip is likely to work fine either way. Just to be safe, you should probably buy a clip that lists both packages.
