New! ZIF-Clip® Headstage Holder |
The ZIF-Clip® Advantage
TDT’s new miniature, low insertion-force set of
headstages support electrode arrays of up to 128 channels. The
patented ZIF-Clip® system features an innovative, hinged
headstage design that ensures quick, easy headstage connection
with almost no insertion force applied to the subject. An aluminum finish protects the sensitive electronics contained within the headstage and provides increased durability.
ZIF-Clip® headstages are designed for zero insertion force transition when connecting to electrodes or adapters. The form-factor automatically aligns the high density connectors on the headstage and probe. The miniature electronics contained within the headstage allow for high channel densities while maintaining an extremely compact structure.
A variety of ZIF-Clip® headstages are available for both chronic
and acute applications.
ZIF-Clip® headstages are designed for Z-Series preamplifiers; however, Z-Series to RA16PA headstage adapters are available on request.
ZIF-Clip® is a TDT patented technology. Patent No. 7540752

ZIF-Clip® Headstage Holder
The ZIF-Clip® holder simplifies electrode insertion by securing your ZIF-Clip® headstage firmly, enabling use with most micromanipulators. Each holder uses a 3/32" diameter, 3" length rod and is designed for use with the specified
ZIF-Clip® headstage dimension.

ZIF-Clip® Demonstration
These long lasting, highly reliable headstages enable stress-free connection without anesthetizing the subject. The headstage automatically aligns to the ZIF-Clip® connector and produces a firm lock between the headstage and probe.
The following image illustrates the proper connection to any ZIF-Clip® connector.
