Key Applications & Projects

• Micro-Sensor Testing: Easily interface MSOP-packaged temperature or pressure sensors with an Arduino.

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

• Firmware Testing: Mount microcontrollers in SOT23-10 packages for quick code verification on a breadboard.

Unlock New Capabilities (Project Evolution)

• Feature Upgrade: By using this adapter, you can turn a fixed SMD component into a modular plug-in unit, allowing for easy swapping between different prototype boards during the optimization phase.

• Effort Level: Intermediate. Requires fine-tip soldering or hot air rework skills due to the small 0.5mm pitch pads.

Package Includes:

• 1 x MSOP10 / SOT23 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; only one component should be mounted per board.

2. What is the lead pitch for MSOP10? The MSOP side features a 0.5mm lead pitch.

3. What is the lead pitch for SOT23-10? The SOT23 side features a 0.95mm lead pitch.

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

5. Are the header pins included? No, 2.54mm male header pins are sold separately.

6. Can I use this for a 6-pin SOT23 chip? Yes, center the component on the 0.95mm pads; it will work for any 4 to 10 pin device with matching pitch.

7. What is the thickness of the board? It is standard 1.5mm to 1.6mm thick.

8. Is the board material heat-resistant? Yes, it is made of FR-4 which is designed for standard soldering temperatures.

9. How do I identify Pin 1? Pin 1 is typically indicated by a square pad or a "1" on the silk screen.

10. What are the overall board dimensions? It is approximately 12.7mm x 10.16mm.

11. Does it support uMAX packages? Yes, most uMAX10 packages are compatible with the 0.5mm pitch side.

12. What is the aperture/hole size? The output holes are 1.0mm in diameter.

13. Is this compatible with SSOP10? Yes, the 0.95mm side is suitable for many SSOP10 components.

14. Do I need a special soldering iron? A fine-tip iron or hot air station is recommended for the 0.5mm pitch side.

15. Can I use this for SOIC8? While some SOIC8 chips may fit, a dedicated SOIC-to-DIP adapter is usually preferred for better pad alignment.

16. Is it compatible with 3.3V and 5V circuits? Yes, it is a passive adapter and handles any voltage the component supports.

17. Are the pads gold-plated? These typically feature high-quality tin plating for easy solder wetting.

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

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

20. Why are there two different side designs? Modern ICs use various standardized pitches; this board covers the two most common for 10-pin micro-packages.
