I want to share with you the experience of using a printed circuit board with holes and a circuit that allows you to independently make the “Adapter” device. The “adapter” helps to use microcircuits in SMD packages of SOP8, SSOP8, SO8, SOIC8, TSSOP8, MSOP8 sizes, as microcircuits in the DIP8 package.
The printed circuit board is varnished, and the copper pads are covered with solder, which makes it very easy to solder such small microcircuits. The thickness of the board is 1.6 mm.
I started the manufacturing process by separating a part of the PCB with 8 holes. It was easy to do, since there are cuts on the board half the thickness of the board. Then I soldered the copper pins that can be removed from the old computer motherboards. After that, I installed the resulting workpiece into the breadboard and soldered the pins, the SO8 chip on the workpiece. The result was an “Adapter”.
Why did I do all this? I proceeded from the fact that microcircuits in SMD cases are cheaper and easier to get. Such a module is easier to use in technical creativity, in homemade and designs using boards arduinothan microchips in SMD packages
