ZIF-Clip® Headstages
TDT’s new miniature, low insertion-force set of connectors and
headstages support electrode arrays of up to 128 channels. The
ZIF-Clip® (Patent Pending) system features an innovative, hinged
headstage design that ensures quick, easy headstage connection
with almost no insertion force applied to the subject.
A variety of ZIF-Clip® headstages are available for both chronic
and acute applications.
ZIF-Clip® Microwire Arrays are currently available for use with 16 and 32 channel ZIF-Clip® headstages and ZIF-Clip® headstage adapters allow connection to probes from TDT , NeuroNexus, CyberKinetics, and Gray Matter. An extended selection of ZIF-Clip® compatible probes will be available soon.

ZIF-Clip® Headstages
ZIF-Clip® headstages are designed for zero insertion force transition when connecting to electrodes or adapters and automatically position the high
density connectors on the
headstage and probe. Its miniature electronics allow for high channel densities while maintaining an extremely compact structure.

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.
