Zif-Clip® Headstage Holders - TDT RZ2 Manual

ZIF‐Clip® Headstage Holders
The ZIF-Clip® headstage holders securely hold your analog or digital ZIF-Clip
headstages during electrode insertion and can be used with most micromanipulators.
The headstage holders, including the stabilizing rod, are approximately 4.5" in length.
The stabilizing rod is 3" in length and has a 3/32" diameter. An aluminum lock pin
ensures the ZIF-Clip does not open during insertion.
Each holder is designed for use with the corresponding ZIF-Clip® or Digital ZIF-
Clip® headstage.

Using the Holder with ZIF‐Clip® Headstages
Each holder is sized to fit a particular headstage and with the exception of the
ZCD-ROD32 (see below), they all can be fitted to the headstage in the same
way.
First, connect the probe or adapter to your ZIF-Clip® headstage BEFORE putting the
headstage in the holder (the square guide provided to ensure the probe or adapter
is connected with the correct polarity is hidden from view when the headstage is in
the holder). See the "Adapter and Probe Connection" section on "ZIF-Clip®
Headstage Adapters" on page 12-3, for more information.
Next, gently slide the ZIF-Clip® headstage onto the holder until it is completely
secure as shown in the images below.
