IC Extractor

Stainless steel construction for removing dual in-line IC packages. (Insulating vinyl grip.)

An IC extractor is a small, handheld tool designed to safely remove integrated circuits (ICs) from their sockets on circuit boards without damaging the components or the board. The extractor's prongs grip the IC securely, allowing easy and controlled extraction, which is especially useful in electronics repair, prototyping, and manufacturing. This tool helps prevent bending or breaking delicate IC pins and minimizes the risk of static discharge or damage to surrounding components.
