It is always found that prototyping has been difficult when it comes to the context of using SMD ICs. In order to accelerate the pace of prototyping Tenet Technetronics has introduced the SOIC-16 DIP Breakout board. These breaks out board ease the use of SOIC-16 as well as TSSOP-16 ICs and easily play with them by placing them on a breadboard.
This breakout PCB set will make connection much easier and help prototyping and testing faster than ever. This is a blank breakout board with dual surface-mount patterns: 16-pin TSSOP and 16-pin SOIC. Two rows of pads are provided, on 0.1″ centres, to accommodate standard 0.025″ square pins, round pins, or wires. Distance between the two rows of pads is 0.6″, designed to plug into a standard wide DIP socket or a breadboard. The boards are end-to-end stackable so that multiple units may be plugged into a breadboard or socket, side by side. Solder your chip with the IC and headers and you’re ready to rock even with SMD components.
