I have spent many hours trying to get the thing working, often ending
up by being *certain* that something other than the clip was at fault.

The trick is to bend the pins on the clip well inwards and then make 
certain that the two rows are *dead straight*. A single pin out of
alignment and it will not work at all. 

Once you have done this it will stay clipped on and (in my case), working
through fairly rough handling.
