FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS (FAQ)

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

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

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

4. What is the thickness of the PCB? The board is 1.6mm thick.

5. What are the overall dimensions? The board measures approximately 12.06mm by 7.62mm.

6. Which side is for the AMS1117? Most AMS1117 regulators use the SOT223 package.

7. Is it compatible with SOT89? Yes, the reverse side is specifically designed for SOT89 packages.

8. Do I need a special iron for this? A standard fine-tip soldering iron is sufficient for these packages.

9. What is the diameter of the output holes? The holes are 1mm in diameter, suitable for standard headers.

10. Is the PCB material heat resistant? Yes, the FR-4 material is designed for standard leaded or lead-free soldering temperatures.

11. How many pins are broken out? It breaks out three pins to the standard DIP spacing.

12. Are the pins labeled? Yes, the pins are clearly numbered (1, 2, 3) on the silk screen.

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

14. Can I use this for SOT23? No, this board is for the larger SOT223 and SOT89 packages; SOT23 requires a different adapter.

15. What is the spacing between the pins? The output pins are spaced at exactly 2.54mm.

16. Is there a mounting hole? No, the board is small and 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. Does the board have a ground plane? It features optimized traces for power components but not a dedicated large ground plane.

20. Why are the pads different on each side? SOT223 and SOT89 have different physical dimensions and pin spacings.
