Proto-Advantage PA0086C SOT23-5 to DIP-6 SMT Adaptor

The Proto-Advantage PA0086C SOT23-5 to DIP-6 SMT Adaptor is a precision component from the Chip Quik Compact Series, designed to bridge the gap between different integrated circuit packaging formats. It provides a reliable method for converting a surface-mount SOT23-5 footprint to a through-hole DIP-6 configuration, facilitating prototyping, testing, and low-volume production without the need for custom PCB designs.

Constructed from high-quality FR-4 UL94V-0 rated PCB material, this adaptor ensures excellent electrical insulation and flame retardancy. A key feature is the use of advanced installation technology; the pins are mounted using a combination of surface mount and partial through-hole techniques. This hybrid approach guarantees exceptional positional accuracy for secure and reliable connections every time.

Key Specifications & Features

The adaptor comes with bottom-side machine pins pre-installed for immediate use. These pins are gold-plated (1µm gold over 50µm nickel) for superior conductivity, corrosion resistance, and long-term reliability. Each pin measures 0.46mm in diameter and 3mm in length. The compact PCB itself measures just 1.6mm in height, 10.16mm in width, and 7.62mm in depth, making it an ideal solution for space-constrained applications.

Applications

This adaptor is perfect for engineers, technicians, and hobbyists working on electronic prototypes, repair jobs, or custom circuit assemblies. It allows for the easy integration of modern SOT23-5 packaged devices into existing DIP sockets or breadboards, significantly simplifying the design and testing process. Its robust construction and precise manufacturing make it a dependable tool for any electronics workshop or lab.
