I would say a PCB for that chip and then you can design a nice connector or wirings to it. Tamas PS: Also put [EE] tag to subject so many others would be able to see your question ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Chaoua, Rashid Date: Apr 19, 2007 3:38 PM Subject: Surface Mount Prototyping Question To: piclist@mit.edu I have bought a chip (LM5041A - for switching power supplies). I plan on using it in a current design but would like to breadboard it to work out some of the kinks in my circuit design. Does anyone know of how I could do this given the chip is surface mount technology and will not fit in my breadboard. My idea was to solder some small wires to the pins and then plug into the breadboard.
