Safely remove chips without bent pins. The GJ-3 IC Extractor is a professional extraction tool designed for 14 to 22-pin DIP integrated circuits. Made from spring steel with a PVC grip, it provides a uniform lifting force to pull chips from sockets or breadboards without damaging the delicate legs or the component body.
Quick Introduction: Stop prying chips out with a screwdriver and bending the legs! The GJ-3 IC Extractor is the standard tool for safely removing Integrated Circuits (ICs) from their sockets. Whether you are upgrading a BIOS chip, swapping Op-Amps, or salvaging parts from old boards, this U-shaped spring tool applies vertical force evenly, popping the chip out clean and straight every time.
Detailed Specifications
Model: GJ-3 (Specific for Standard DIP widths).
Compatible Pin Count: 14-Pin to 22-Pin DIP/DIL Packages.
Material: Stainless Steel / Spring Steel Alloy.
Handle: Dipped PVC Insulation (Black or Red).
Length: Approx. 105mm - 130mm.
Mechanism: Spring-tensioned squeeze grip with inward-facing hooks.
ESD Safe: Metal construction prevents static buildup (when grounded by the user).
Quality Advantage & Differentiation: Why use the GJ-3?
Vertical Lift: Unlike a screwdriver that leverages from one end (bending the pins on the other side), the GJ-3 hooks under both ends of the chip and lifts straight up.
Pin Protection: Prevents the dreaded "bent pin" scenario that renders chips unusable for sockets.
Durable Spring Steel: Returns to its original shape after use, maintaining the correct tension for gripping chips securely.
Key Applications & Usage
Retro Computing: Removing ROM/RAM chips from vintage arcade boards or computers.
Arduino/Microcontrollers: Pulling the ATmega328P chip from an Arduino Uno socket.
Audio Repair: Swapping Op-Amps in socketed pre-amps or pedals.
Breadboarding: Quickly moving complex chips between prototyping boards without damaging leads.
What's Included & Required
Included: 1x GJ-3 IC Extractor Tool.
Required: A steady hand (and safety glasses if prying tight chips).
The "Virtual Technician" Support Panel
⚠️ SOCKET VS. SOLDER WARNING:
Socketed Chips: This tool is perfect for chips sitting in plastic sockets.
Soldered Chips: Do NOT use this to pull chips that are soldered directly to the board unless you are simultaneously using a hot air gun to melt the solder. Pulling a cold soldered chip will rip the copper pads right off the PCB.
⚠️ GRIP TECHNIQUE:
Squeeze the handle gently until the hooks fit under the chip body (between the pins).
Ensure the hooks are contacting the plastic body of the IC, not the pins themselves.
Pull straight up with a firm, steady motion. Do not wiggle excessively.
