Post by thread:[ee]: SOIC -> DIL adapters.

Hi. Some times ago (about a year) I bought a batch of SOIC to DIL adapters (small PCBs with a simple layout delivered as "strips" to be cut in pieces). Can't remeber from who I got them now... Anyway, is there anyone on the list who either sells or know a good source for similar adapters ? Don't have to be top-quality, I'm targeting hobbyists... Both SOIC-8, SOIC-16 and SOIC-28 are interesting. And possible some of the SO- sizes used by transistors, diods and PIC10 (!). Best Regards, Jan-Erik.

Jan-Erik, Look to the web at a site names beldynsys.com. They have what you are looking for. We have used these here at work, and they are great. We used to get some similar items from a European company, but they got too expensive. Anyway, these guy's will fix you up.

Might have been me. I've been offering those strips for quite a while now. I've got so8-DIP8 (takes both wide & narrow SO), so16-DIP16 (narrow:0.15"), so28-dip28 (wide: 0.3"). The so adapters are centered on the footprint so they can be easily cut down for smaller packages. Eg: the 28 pin variant easily handles either the 18 pin or 28 pin PICs. I've got some other little ones coming in the next batch of boards: they are a little circle that takes a sot23-5 or sot23-6 and are intended for use with wire leads rather a socket. In other words, you can fit a sot23-6 in the same footprint as some of the old metal can dual transistors (TO-18 type size).

The easiest is too create your own layout and ask some cheap prototype house to do it for you. I think this even makes business sense for some small firms targeting hobbyists. We have all kinds of carrier footprints (SOT23, SOT89, TO92 SOT23-5, SOIC8/14/16/18/20/24/28, SSOP8/10/28, ...) in a big PCB. We have also made the prototype multi-hole boards (with and without ground plane). It saves us quite some money as well. Reagrds, Xiaofan

All, I don't know about that, but I received a kit with 5 10F parts along with 5 little boards that convert from the knat tird size to 8 pin DIP to allow for development using breadboards and such. Whether they (Microchip) are planning to produce 10F's in DIP packages, I don't know. Talk to your field sales guy and ask him if there are any of the kits left.

Of course they are available as DIP8's !!! I've had 10Fs in both SO and DIP since, well I don't know, but from whenever you could sample them... Just forget I mentioned 10F, and let's focus on the adapters, thanks ! Jan-Erik.

(in fact Buy-Microchip sold the DIPs *before* they sold the SMDs in small quantities, small being less than one reel). But you still need some pin re-arranging to program them in a programmer that expects a 12F pinout :( I do have such PCB's, I just have not found the time to test them or put them in my shop, shame on me. price ~ $ 1.00 Wouter van Ooijen -- ------------------------------------------- Van Ooijen Technische Informatica: http://www.voti.nl consultancy, development, PICmicro products docent Hogeschool van Utrecht: http://www.voti.nl/hvu

If you're going to use a 8 pin DIP, you might was well use a 12F PIC. I've heard rumors that Microchip is also realizing this was a dumb idea, but nothing substantiated. ***************************************************************** Embed Inc, embedded system specialists in Littleton Massachusetts (978) 742-9014, http://www.embedinc.com

I sort of figured that as well initially, but later thought that perhaps they just released the DIP version so you can design/prototype with the actual 10F core and its specific peripherals, and later you'd just drop in the 6-pin SOIC package. I was probably not worth the hassle/cost to create a new 6-pin package solely for the DIP version which most people wouldn't use for production anyway (and I'm basing that on one of the key lures of the 10F chips being its small size).
