Proto-Advantage PA0006C-N SOIC-16 to DIP-16 SMT Adaptor

Part of the Chip Quik Compact Series, the Proto-Advantage PA0006C-N is a high-precision surface mount adaptor designed to convert a 16-pin SOIC package to a 16-pin DIP footprint. This adaptor enables the prototyping, testing, and integration of surface-mount devices into through-hole applications, offering exceptional flexibility for electronics engineers and hobbyists.

The adaptor features a robust FR-4 UL94V-0 PCB construction, ensuring reliability and flame retardancy. For superior electrical performance and corrosion resistance, the machine pins on the bottom side come pre-installed and are gold plated with 1µm of gold over 50µm of nickel. These pins have a diameter of 0.46mm and a length of 3mm.

A key feature is the use of surface mount with partial through hole technology for pin installation. This innovative method guarantees exceptional positional accuracy, which is critical for maintaining signal integrity and ensuring a reliable connection between the adaptor and your target board.
