SOIC8 clips are a convenient way to interface with SOIC8 chips. They are cheap and somewhat easy to use. SOIC8 clips are a convenient way to interface with SOIC8 chips. They are cheap and somewhat easy to use.
Remember though, that the clip requires a programmer to act as interface between the clip and your computer. Remember though, that the clip requires a programmer to act as interface between the clip and your computer.
It can be confusing when looking at the ribbon cable of the clip, because the two rows of pins -- how does it map?
Look at the following image of a ribbon cable, there is a red wire that indicates pin 1, and the pins are numbered
relative to the cable key notch. Don't be confused in thinking that red should be voltage, in this case it should
map to pin one of the SOIC8 chip and pin-cable adapter. This way you can visualize the pins of the adapter are identical
to that of the SOIC8 flash chip specification.

**Warning:** Often camera boards have other SOIC8 style chips besides the flash chip,
and you need to be sure to identify the correct chip before you begin your work.
