I offer some little adapter PCBs for SO-8, SO-16, SO-28 for cheap. The adapters come as a small board containing several adapters. You have to cut them apart with tin snips, solder on the SMT chip and add pins (I use cut-off resistor leads). The boards are double sided with plated thru holes and solder mask. The SO-8 adapters take narrow (0.15") and wide (0.20") chips up to 8 pins. The SO-16 adapters take narrow body (0.15") chips up to 16 pins. The SO-28 adapters take wide body (0.3") chips up to 28 pins. I currently have several different combinations: 5 - SO-8 adapters $1.00 US 2 - SO-8, 1 - SO-16, 1 - SO-28 $2.00 US 3 - SO-8, 2 - SO-28 $3.00 US Add $1.00 US for shipping for up to 5 of the above cards. 9 - SO-8, 4 - SO-16 $4.00 US inc shipping 3 - SO-8, 4 - SO-16, 2 - SO-28 $5.00 US inc shipping 3 - SO-8, 3 - SO-16, 2 - SO-28 $5.00 US inc shipping Important note about the SO-8 adapters: the SMT part is mounted on the UNDERSIDE of the adapter. There just isn't enough room to mount a 0.200" wide SO-8 with gull wing leads between 0.3" DIP spaced leads. Please contact me via PRIVATE email if you can use any of these. dwayne Dwayne Reid Trinity Electronics Systems Ltd Edmonton, AB, CANADA (780) 489-3199 voice (780) 487-6397 fax Celebrating 18 years of Engineering Innovation (1984 - 2002) .-. .-. .-. .-. .-. .-. .-. .-. .-. .- `-' `-' `-' `-' `-' `-' `-' `-' `-' Do NOT send unsolicited commercial email to this email address.
