A six-pack of colour-coded micro SMT test hooks for probing and debugging surface-mount PCBs. Each hook features a spring-actuated double-hook tip that snaps onto components, and a solderable tab on the other end for attaching wires or leads.
These hooks are designed for low-profile surface-mount testing and work well with larger SMD packages (DIP, SOIC) and through-hole parts. They are not small enough for fine-pitch packages such as TSSOP or TQFP.
Key Features
- Spring-Actuated Double Hook – Clips securely onto SMD and through-hole components
- Solderable Tabs – Attach your own wires or test leads
- Colour Coded – Six colours for easy channel identification
- Low Profile – Designed for probing populated PCBs
Ideal For
- PCB debugging and signal probing
- Logic analyser and oscilloscope connections
- Surface-mount component testing
- Electronics workbench and prototyping
Package Contents
- 6× Micro SMT test hooks (one of each colour)
Jargon buster
Plain-language definitions for the technical terms used above.
- PCB
- A printed circuit board (PCB) is a board, usually rigid, with etched copper tracks that connect electronic components together without loose wiring. Components are mounted on the board and signals route between them through the copper layout.
- SMD
- SMD means surface-mount device, a component style designed to be soldered directly onto the surface of a circuit board rather than through holes. SMD parts are compact and mounted flat on the board, which suits smaller and mass-produced designs.
- through-hole
- A mounting style where the component leads pass through holes in a circuit board and are soldered on the other side. Through-hole parts are often easier to handle and solder by hand, which is useful for classroom and hobby projects.
