Overview

The Toyo PLCC IC Extractor is a convenient and efficient component designed for extracting and handling PLCC (Plastic Leaded Chip Carrier) ICs. This extractor is suitable for a wide range of applications, including electronics prototyping, repair, and rework.

Key Features

Supports PLCC ICs with 20, 28, 32, and 44 pins
 Easy-to-use design with a lever-operated mechanism
 Durable construction with a metal body and rubber grip

Usage and Examples

### Example 1: Extracting a 20-pin PLCC IC using the Toyo PLCC IC Extractor

To extract a 20-pin PLCC IC using the Toyo PLCC IC Extractor, follow these steps:

1. Place the IC extractor on a flat surface with the lever in the down position.
2. Carefully align the IC extractor's pins with the IC's pins, ensuring they are properly seated.
3. Gently lift the lever to extract the IC from its socket.

Code Example (Python):
```python
import RPi.GPIO as GPIO

# Initialize GPIO library
GPIO.setmode(GPIO.BCM)

# Define the IC extractor's lever pin
lever_pin = 17

# Set the lever pin as an output
GPIO.setup(lever_pin, GPIO.OUT)

# Extract the IC
GPIO.output(lever_pin, GPIO.HIGH)  # Lift the lever
time.sleep(1)  # Wait for 1 second
GPIO.output(lever_pin, GPIO.LOW)  # Lower the lever

# Clean up
GPIO.cleanup()
```
This example assumes you are using a Raspberry Pi with the RPi.GPIO library to control the IC extractor's lever. The code lifts the lever, waits for 1 second, and then lowers it to extract the IC.

### Example 2: Using the Toyo PLCC IC Extractor in a Robotics Application

In this example, we'll demonstrate how to use the Toyo PLCC IC Extractor in a robotics application to extract a 28-pin PLCC IC from a robot's control board.

Hardware Requirements:

Toyo PLCC IC Extractor
 Robot control board with 28-pin PLCC IC socket
 Microcontroller (e.g., Arduino or Raspberry Pi)
 Breadboard and jumper wires

Code Example (Arduino):
```c
const int extractorPin = 9;  // IC extractor's lever pin

void setup() {
  pinMode(extractorPin, OUTPUT);
}

void loop() {
  // Extract the IC
  digitalWrite(extractorPin, HIGH);
  delay(1000);  // Wait for 1 second
  digitalWrite(extractorPin, LOW);

// Perform other robotics tasks...
}
```
This example uses an Arduino microcontroller to control the IC extractor's lever pin. The code sets the pin as an output, lifts the lever, waits for 1 second, and then lowers it to extract the IC.

Note: The above examples are for illustrative purposes only and may require modifications to fit your specific use case. Always ensure proper handling and safety precautions when working with electronics and ICs.
