Kelly, No, I don't have access to a Newark catalog. The one I've got is sold thru Jameco and was about $13.00. It looks like a small wishbone inside a larger wishbone (if that makes sense). The center of the small wishbone is attached to a bar that runs thru the center of both (actually, it's attached to both also) and it ends in a round plate that sits ontop of the chip. The small wishbone fits in the PLCC socket and has "hooks" to go under the chip. The large wishbone has pads that fit against the socket so they can push on it. By squeezing on the outside or large wishbone, you end up with a "push on the socket while you pull on the chip" type action. I hope that all made some kind of sense to you. Anyway, it all works well…no problem at all, and very easy to use. Don
