Description
The ASIC Chip Test Base for Antminer is a high-precision diagnostic platform that lets you test individual ASIC chips before soldering them onto hashboards. Compatible with the full range of Bitmain ASIC chips — including BM1387, BM1397, BM1398, BM1362, BM1489, BM1762, and more — this tool is indispensable for chip-level repair work and quality verification.

Test Before You Solder
Soldering a dead chip onto a hashboard wastes time, solder, and risks damaging the board. This test base lets you verify every ASIC chip is functional before it touches a PCB. Drop the chip into the socket, run the test, and know with certainty whether it is good to go. For anyone doing chip-level ASIC repair, this is the difference between a professional workflow and guesswork.
Broad Chip Compatibility
The test base supports the full spectrum of Bitmain ASIC chips used across multiple Antminer generations. BM1387 and BM1387B chips power the S9 series. BM1397 and BM1397AG are found in the S17/T17 generation. BM1398 drives the S19 series. BM1362 and BM1489 cover additional models, and BM1762 extends support to Litecoin mining hardware. Custom configurations are available for additional chip types — contact us if you need a specific socket.
Professional-Grade Precision
The high-precision contact pins in this test base ensure reliable, repeatable test results. Unlike improvised test setups, this purpose-built tool maintains consistent contact pressure and alignment, eliminating false positives and false negatives that waste your time and materials.
Essential for Chip-Level Repair
When a hashboard fails and the fault traces back to individual ASIC chips, you need to know which replacement chips are good before installing them. This test base is the missing link between sourcing replacement chips and confidently installing them. Repair shops doing volume work will quickly recoup the investment through reduced rework and faster turnaround.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I test chips from non-Bitmain miners?
This test base is designed specifically for Bitmain ASIC chips. For testing chips from other manufacturers like MicroBT or Innosilicon, contact our team about available options.
How do I know which chip my Antminer uses?
The chip model is typically printed on the ASIC chip itself. As a quick reference: S9 uses BM1387, S17/T17 use BM1397, S19 uses BM1398, and S21 uses BM1368. Our support team can help identify your specific chip if needed.
Do I need any additional equipment to use this test base?
You will need a power source appropriate for the chip being tested and basic test leads. The base itself provides the precision socket and contact interface.
Can custom chip sockets be ordered?
Yes. If you need a test base configured for a specific chip model not listed, contact D-Central. Custom configurations are available to match your repair workflow.
Why Buy from D-Central?
D-Central Technologies performs chip-level ASIC repairs in our own Canadian workshop every day. We use these same test bases to verify replacement chips before they go onto customer hashboards. When you buy diagnostic tools from D-Central, you are getting the same equipment our technicians trust — backed by a team that has been repairing miners since 2016. Every hash counts.
