Thanks to everyone for the suggestion and ideas. I really liked the idea with the #30 cable. I never used it because I thought it should be more temporary solution. However, I really got tired of the fact then whenever I move the set-up a few centimetres (this are about an inch ;) ) I hear all th

Dear Torsten, if you don't want to use a soldered wire which is really the best, try the following clips part number 6800 and the set 6800-12 at: http://www.electro-pjp.com/index.php?pagination=1&id=62&page=3 they looks like a copy of your reference [1]. You will be able to contact pins of SMD pac

Dear geda users, I know it is off topic but I guess it is somehow related to PCB and many of you face the same problem or found already a solution. I am looking for a good set of micro probes to address single pins of ICs or other SMD components on a PCB. I saw some kit which looks very promising
