The Bus Pirate 5 SOIC/SOP8 SPI Flash Adapter makes it easy to program bare SPI flash memory chips without clips or soldering. The spring-loaded ZIF socket accepts SOP8 packages in both 150 mil and 208 mil widths — the most common flash memory form factors — allowing quick chip insertion and removal.
Simply press down on the socket to retract the spring fingers, place the chip with pin 1 aligned to the marker, and release. The spring fingers grip the chip securely for reliable contact during programming.

Resources
Jargon buster
Plain-language definitions for the technical terms used above.
- Flash memory
- Non-volatile memory that keeps stored data even when power is removed. In this sensor, it matters because enrolled fingerprint templates can remain saved after the project is turned off.
- SPI
- A fast serial communication bus often used for displays, memory cards, and sensors. It matters because SPI devices need specific pins for clock and data, plus a separate chip-select line for each device.
