Electronic piece spun a lot — a banger? (9)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

chipolata

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'banger?' is the definition.
(I know that chipolata is a type of banger)

'electronic piece spun a lot a' is the wordplay.
'electronic piece' becomes 'chip' (chip is a kind of piece. I am not sure about the 'electronic' bit.).
'spun' indicates anagramming the letters.
'a'+'lot'='alot'
'alot' with letters rearranged gives 'olat'.
'chip'+'olat'+'a'='CHIPOLATA'

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for chipolata that I've seen before include "Party snack" , "Small thin sausage" , "banger" , "Type of sausage" .)

I've seen this clue in The Independent.
