Have you considered an 8 pin dip socket?  I have found that an 8 pin SOIC will
fit in the DIP socket.  You could use conductive epoxy on the pins to pop it in.
 Then just put it in circuit in thye socket.  Works for me.

Subject: NEED 8 pin SMT (SOIC) to 8 DIP adapter


Hi,
Can anyone offer a sugestion as to something I can use to allow me to breadboard
with a 8 SOIC (The 8 pin SMT package).

I'd prefer something cheap and preferably available in Australia.

Thanks,
