The adaptor supplied by Dataman for use with 20 pin PLCC devices is the
PLCC-2020-01. This type of adaptor is known as a Dead Bug Adaptor the name
derives from the fact that any chip inserted into the adaptors socket must be
inserted (ignoring convention) upside down so that it is effectively lying on
its back in the socket with its legs pointing upward at the sky, hence the name
dead bug.
To ensure that your device is fitted correctly into the adaptor please look
at your PLCC device, the top of the device is the plastic area which has the
manufacturers name, maybe a logo and the device number. The bottom of the device
will usually have nothing on it at all.
Line the device up correctly in the adaptor by making sure that the bevelled
edge on the device matches the bevelled edge on the adaptor, and then insert the
device with the bottom facing up and the legs pointing up at the sky (see
diagrams). If you have any further difficulties please submit our
technical support form, or call +44 (0)1300 322903.
