DESCRIPTION

Adapter allows convenient mounting of your SOIC to a general purpose, .100″ grid breadboard.  This is an 18 lead SOIC adapter designed to accommodate a Standard package width. Two (2) additional pads available for bypass capacitors making the assembly to your breadboard faster.  We also have provided an extended copper plane beyond the necessary bottom ground pad to assist with heat removal. Center ground pad is stiched with thermal vias to help pull the heat away.

Other lead counts available from 8 to 28 in both Narrow and Standard package widths.

For easy solder pasting, all adapters are shipped with a hand stencil.  Proper registration of the stencil to pads is achieved by mounting the stencil on top of the DIP pins.  We recommend using #4 solder paste which has smaller particle size and will yield more consistent results. Complete soldering recommendations are provided in each shipment.

Works with Precision PCBS series PC40, PC45, PCPG47 General Purpose breadboards, all available on Digikey.
