What is this connector called?

[jb-electronics]

Hello friends,

I am currently setting up a new way of photographing Nixie tubes which will hopefully result in better quality pictures. To that end, I am also considering using different connectors to the Nixie tube pins. I was thinking about these:

    https://www.amazon.com/P5003-Jumper-Analyzer-Testing-Accessories/dp/B07FQLHTBM/

I have no idea what they are called in technical terms, and the Amazon listing is also kind of vague. I am asking since I want to purchase these at Digikey or Mouser along with a bunch of other components, but it is hard to look for these without having the proper term.

Can anybody help? It is greatly appreciated!

Best wishes
Jens

Typically referred to as micro-grabbers.

I find the same item on Banggood, a chinese site BUT they have a brand
name...
DANIU P5003 10Pcs Mini Grabber SMD IC Test Hook Clip Jumper Probe Logic
Analyzer Testing Accessories

Amazon is probably just listing these as a front for the Chinese
seller, they same term also shows up on e-bay and both Amazon.com and
Amazon.ca

DANIU is not a digi-key supplier, in fact if you look on amazon they
sell almost all kinds of stuff.

Digikey has a variety of very appealing versions.

The ones pictured look like Pomona Micrograbbers:

I've seen 2 types of grabbers

• Cheaper ones that are a simple 'J' shape to reach around a pin. They work fairly well with 0.1" pitch devices.  I got a bunch of these with an HP Logic Analyzer.
• Similar to the picture above, almost like a pair of arms that hug the pin. With some patience, you can grab onto 0.05" pitch devices. They hold-on very well and once they are secured they wont short against adjacent pins. 

The only drawback is that these grabbers require a jumper-wire to be connected, and they pop-off easily.

You often find these for sale at vintage radio swap meets, with or without leads attached.

For lower-speed use cases, i.e. < 50MHz, I solder these to a ribbon cable which is then terminated in an IDC connector. I intersperse GND and signal lines.

I then have a similar connector (opposite gender) going to the logic analyser.

Big plus is that I can disconnect a DUT easily, i.e. have several on the go at once.

I got the idea from the Digilent Analog Discovery 2 and DIgital DIscovery  which has similar probe s
