Re: Modifying IC socket

Interesting, not seen that before but I very much doubt it could have been 'threaded' over the pins of a through-hole socket - so I would guess it just has not got a full length bar underneath?
Most likely just small ears catching under each end of the socket - have you tried simply gently pushing the end of the clip inwards or using a small screwdriver to lever the bottom of the red clip outwards?

Hi all,

I'm installing a NewScope LCD in a HP85662 and part of the job requires a distribution PCB to be plugged into this socket. Does anyone?know of a way to remove the red retainer clip without damaging?or desoldering the socket ?
