Estrattore PLCC c.k tools T2371 ESD 100 mm, estrattore chip PLCC, antistatico

PLCC extraction tool c.k tools T2371 is a 100 mm ESD-safe extractor designed to remove PLCC (Plastic Leaded Chip Carrier) integrated circuits from their sockets on printed circuit boards. The tool features a compact extraction head and insulated handles that provide controlled grip and leverage while minimising the risk of mechanical damage to the chip or surrounding components. Its antistatic construction reduces the likelihood of electrostatic discharge during handling, making it suitable for repair benches and prototype work where ESD protection is required.

Advantages

The compact extraction head permits precise engagement with PLCC packages in confined PCB layouts, while insulated, ESD-safe handles offer secure control and reduce static risk. The 100 mm length balances reach and leverage, enabling access to chips mounted near other components without excessive force. The tool's construction is intended to protect socket pins and PCB traces from bending or tearing during removal.

Key specifications

How to use

Position the extraction head over opposite corners of the PLCC package so the hooks engage securely under the chip edges. Apply steady, even upward pressure using the insulated handles until the package disengages from the socket. Use controlled, incremental movements rather than sudden force to avoid bending socket pins or disturbing adjacent components. If resistance is high, verify that any retaining clips or adhesives have been released or softened before attempting further extraction.

Recommendations

Use the tool only on PLCC-style packages and in ESD-protected areas when handling static-sensitive devices. Store the extractor in an antistatic pouch or toolbox when not in use, and inspect the extraction head for wear or damage before reuse to ensure safe, reliable operation.
