Key Applications & Projects

• Logic Gate Prototyping: Test surface-mount 74-series or 4000-series logic ICs on a breadboard.

• Audio Circuit Design: Evaluate SMD operational amplifiers in traditional through-hole circuit layouts.

• Sensor Interfacing: Break out micro-packaged 14-pin sensors for easy wiring to an Arduino or ESP32.

Unlock New Capabilities (Project Evolution)

• Feature Upgrade: This board turns a fixed surface-mount chip into a removable DIP component, allowing for easy swapping between different prototype boards during the tuning phase of a project.

• Effort Level: Intermediate. Requires steady hands and basic SMD soldering techniques to mount the chip and the 2.54mm headers.

Package Includes:

• 1 x SOP14 / SSOP14 to DIP14 Double-Sided Adapter PCB

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS (FAQ)

1. Can I mount chips 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 SOP14? The SOP side features a standard 1.27mm pitch.

3. What is the lead pitch for TSSOP14? The SSOP side features a 0.65mm pitch.

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

5. What are the dimensions of the PCB? The board is a square measuring 17.78mm by 17.78mm.

6. Does it come with header pins? No, 2.54mm male headers must be purchased separately.

7. Which side is for SOIC14? Use the 1.27mm pitch side.

8. Is it compatible with MSOP14? Yes, most MSOP14 chips with a 0.65mm pitch will fit the SSOP side.

9. Can I use this for chips with fewer than 14 pins? Yes, as long as the pitch matches, you can center smaller pin-count chips (like SOP8 or SOP10) on the pads.

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

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

12. Do I need a special iron for the 0.65mm side? A fine-tip soldering iron or hot air station is recommended for the smaller pitch.

13. What is the row spacing for the DIP output? The rows are spaced at 15.24mm (0.6 inches).

14. Are the pads tin-plated? Yes, the pads feature high-quality plating for easy solder wetting.

15. What is the diameter of the output holes? They are standard 1mm holes designed for 2.54mm pin headers.

16. Can I use this with a DIP socket? Yes, once headers are attached, it can be plugged into a standard 14-pin wide DIP socket.

17. Is it suitable for high-frequency signals? For most prototyping needs it is fine, but for very high-speed RF, a custom PCB is always preferred.

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

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

20. Why are the pads different on each side? Different IC standards use different pitches; this dual-sided board maximizes compatibility for the two most common 14-pin SMD standards
