ZIF‐Clip®ZCDOverview
ZIF-Clip® digital headstages use an Intan amplifier chip to digitize physiological
recordings directly inside the clip. Digitized signals are routed to a PZ4 headstage
manifold through a single cable for transfer to an RZ base station.
The ZIF-Clip® headstage (Patent No. 7540752) features an innovative, hinged
headstage design that ensures quick, easy headstage connection with almost no
insertion force applied to the subject. ZIF-Clip® headstage contacts seat inside the
probe array and snap in place, firmly locking the headstage and probe with very little
applied pressure. These self-aligning headstages provide long lasting low insertion
performance for a variety of channel number and electrode configurations. An
aluminum finish provides increased durability.
The headstages are recommended for use with probe impedance that range from 20
Kohm to 2 Mohm. By default, ground and reference are separate on all ZIF-Clip®
headstages yielding a differential configuration. Reference and ground may be tied
together on the headstage adapter or ZIF-Clip® microwire array for single-ended
configurations.
