The BP Microsystems SM84UP is a manual PLCC socket module engineered to program and test Plastic Leaded Chip Carrier devices across a wide range of pin counts and package variants. This interchangeable template-based system supports PLCC devices from 20 to 84 pins, accommodating over 5,000 device types through individual insert plate configurations. The module interfaces directly with BP Microsystems programmers equipped with 48 to 240 pins, requiring a minimum driver count equal to the target device pin count.
## Technical Specifications
• Pin count support: 20 to 84 pins
• Device compatibility: Over 5,000 PLCC devices
• Programmer pin range: 48 to 240 pins (host programmer must have ≥ device pin count drivers)
• Standard templates included: 20, 28, 32, 44, 52, 68, and 84 pin configurations
• Signal delivery: Stripline architecture eliminates overshoot, noise, and ground bounce for vector testing accuracy
• Continuity testing: Full pin continuity verification supported
## Key Features
• Manual socket operation with indexed orientation alignment
• Insert plates (templates) accommodate specific PLCC pin counts and package geometry
• Front-right index positioning guides correct chip orientation with beveled index side alignment
• Pin one mark aligns toward programmer front
• Pressure plate reversible via four 0.059 inch Allen screws for thinner device accommodation
• Shim compatibility for 32-pin PLCC thickness adjustment
• High-quality signal and ground delivery for reliable testing
## Compatibility & Integration
Designed exclusively for BP Microsystems programmers with sufficient driver capacity. Socket accommodates various PLCC package types and geometries. Module plugs onto programmer with lid hinge toward rear; template edge marking pin count aligns with programmer front. Grasp module chassis on left and right sides during removal to avoid socket damage.
