DFN10 eMSOP10 to DIP10 Adapter PCB - 0.5mm Double-Sided Converter

Specifications

• Board Length: 12.5mm

• Board Width: 9.9mm

• Material: High-quality FR-4 Glass Fiber

• Pitch (Front): 0.5mm (Compatible with DFN10, eMSOP10)

• DIP Output Pitch: Standard 2.54mm (0.1 inch)

• Thermal Pad: Integrated on reverse side for heat dissipation

• Number of Pins: 10 Pins

Key Applications & Projects

• Power Management: Interface micro-regulators in DFN packages with breadboard circuits.

• Sensor Prototyping: Rapidly test eMSOP-packaged MEMS sensors or high-precision ADCs.

• Hardware Salvaging: Reuse tiny SMD ICs from salvaged electronics in new through-hole prototypes.

Unlock New Capabilities (Project Evolution)

• Feature Upgrade: The integrated thermal pad allows you to prototype high-current components that would otherwise overheat on standard breakout boards without a copper thermal path.

• Effort Level: Intermediate. Requires steady hands and basic SMD soldering or hot air rework skills due to the small 0.5mm pitch pads.

Package Includes:

• 1 x DFN10 / eMSOP10 to DIP10 Double-Sided Adapter PCB

•  

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS (FAQ)

1. Can I mount components on both sides at once? No, the through-holes for the DIP headers are shared; you should only mount one component per board.

2. What is the lead pitch for DFN10? This adapter features a 0.5mm lead pitch for DFN and eMSOP components.

3. Does it come with header pins? No, 2.54mm male header pins are sold separately.

4. Will this fit a standard breadboard? Yes, it converts the SMD pins to standard 2.54mm spacing for all breadboards.

5. What is the size of the board? The board measures approximately 12.5mm by 9.9mm.

6. Which side is for the eMSOP10? Use the side labeled "eMSOP10" with the 0.5mm pitch pads.

7. What is the "thermal pad" for? It provides a copper area on the back of the board to help dissipate heat from components with an exposed bottom pad.

8. Is it compatible with DFN-8? While designed for 10 pins, smaller DFN packages with a 0.5mm pitch can often be centered on these pads.

9. Do I need a special iron for this? A fine-tip iron or hot air station is recommended due to the 0.5mm pitch.

10. How many pins are broken out? All 10 pins are broken out to the standard DIP spacing.

11. Are the pins numbered? Yes, Pin 1 is clearly indicated on the silk screen.

12. Is the PCB material heat-resistant? Yes, the FR-4 material is designed for standard soldering temperatures.

13. Can I use this for MSOP10 (Standard)? Yes, it is compatible with both standard and enhanced (eMSOP) 10-pin micro-packages.

14. What is the diameter of the output holes? The holes are sized for standard 2.54mm pin headers.

15. What color is the PCB? The board is standard green with white silk screening.

16. Is there a mounting hole? No, the board is held in place by its header pins.

17. Can I reuse the board? Yes, if the component is desoldered carefully, the PCB can be reused.

18. What gauge wire fits the holes? Standard 22AWG solid wire or header pins are ideal.

19. What is the spacing between the two rows of DIP pins? It is standard 0.3-inch (7.62mm) spacing.

20. Why is it called eMSOP? The "e" indicates an enhanced thermal pad on the bottom of the package, which this board supports.
