QFP64 QFN64 to DIP64 Adapter PCB - 0.5mm & 0.8mm Double-Sided Converter

Specifications

• Board Dimensions: 30mmx30mm

• PCB Thickness: 1.6mm

• Pitch 1 (Side A): 0.8mm (Compatible with QFP/LQFP 32-64 pins)

• Pitch 2 (Side B): 0.5mm (Compatible with QFP/QFN 64 pins)

• DIP Output Pitch: Standard 2.54mm

• Thermal Pad: Integrated center ground pad for high-power chips

• Number of Pins: 64 Pins

Key Applications & Projects

• High-Pin-Count MCU Development: Test 64-pin STM32 or similar microcontrollers on a standard breadboard.

• Component Salvaging: Reuse 64-pin SMD ICs from older electronics in new through-hole prototypes.

• Hardware Interfacing: Break out high-density logic or ADC/DAC modules for easy wiring.

Unlock New Capabilities (Project Evolution)

• Feature Upgrade: Both sides include a central exposed thermal pad, critical for modern high-speed or high-current ICs that require a ground or heat-sink connection to prevent overheating.

• Effort Level: Advanced. Requires high-precision soldering or a hot air rework station due to the leadless nature of QFN and the 0.5mm pitch.

Package Includes:

• 1 x QFP64 / QFN64 to DIP64 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 are the lead pitches available? One side is 0.8mm and the other side is 0.5mm.

3. Will this fit a standard breadboard? It breaks out into a square pattern; you will likely need to use jumper wires or a specialized wide-socket setup for standard breadboards.

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

5. What are the overall board dimensions? The board is a square measuring 30mmx30mm

6. Does it have a thermal pad? Yes, both sides include a central area for chips requiring a thermal or ground connection.

7. Is it compatible with TQFP64? Yes, the 0.8mm side is designed for standard TQFP64 and LQFP64 packages.

8. Do I need a special iron for this? A hot air rework station is highly recommended for leadless QFN packages.

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

10. Is the PCB material heat-resistant? Yes, it is made of high-quality FR-4 rated for standard soldering temperatures.

11. Can I use this for 48-pin chips? While possible if the pitch matches and the chip is centered, it is specifically optimized for 64-pin packages.

12. How many pins are broken out? All 64 pins are broken out to standard DIP spacing.

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

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

15. Is there a mounting hole? No, the board is held in place by its header pins or integrated into a custom socket.

16. Can I reuse the board? If the component is desoldered carefully with hot air, the PCB can be reused.

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

18. Is this compatible with LQFP? Yes, LQFP packages typically use these 0.5mm or 0.8mm pitches.

19. Does it fit a standard DIP socket? It uses a square header layout rather than a standard 2-row DIP layout, so check your spacing before purchasing a socket.

20. Why are there two different side designs? Modern high-density ICs use various standardized pitches; this board covers the two most common for 64-pin packages.
