Abstract

An apparatus for readily identifying the pin number and total number of pins of an integrated circuit having multiple leads or pins arranged in two substantially parallel rows is provided. The apparatus has a rectangular frame with opposite ends of predetermined width and sides having a plurality of notches. The notches are formed so that when at least one of the sides is placed adjacent the pins, each of the pins fits substantially inside one of the notches. Labeling means are placed on at least one of the faces of the apparatus for correlating a predetermined notch with a pin of the integrated circuit.
