ZIF-Clip^® Headstage Adapters

ZIF-Clip^® headstage adapters are available for use with a variety of particular electrode styles. When using adapters, keep in mind that standard operation (differential vs single ended) varies for acute and chronic preparations and headstages are designed accordingly. When adapting across preparations, carefully note and understand the use of the ground(G) and reference(R) connections provided on each adapter.

Standard operation for ZIF-Clip^® headstages is differential. Headstage adapters designed for chronic electrodes can be configured for single-ended operation by tying ground(G) and reference(R) connections together on the adapter.
