Proto Advantage Compact Series SOIC-14 to DIP-14 SMT Adaptor, 1.27mm Pitch

The Proto Advantage PA0003C is a high-quality surface mount adaptor designed to convert a SOIC-14 package to a standard DIP-14 footprint, facilitating easy prototyping, testing, and integration. Part of the versatile Compact Series, this adaptor allows surface-mount devices (SMDs) to be used in through-hole applications, bridging the gap between modern component packaging and traditional breadboard or socket-based designs.

Constructed from robust FR-4 material with a UL94V-0 flammability rating, the board adheres to the IPC-A-610 Class II standard for assured quality and reliability. The pins are installed using a combination of surface mount and partial through-hole technology, resulting in exceptional mechanical strength and precise positional accuracy. Bottom-side machine pins come pre-installed, simplifying the assembly process.

Key Electrical and Thermal Specifications

This adaptor is engineered for stable performance across a wide range of conditions. It features a continuous current rating of 0.6A at a 10°C temperature rise and 1.1A at a 40°C temperature rise. It operates reliably within a temperature range of -40°C to +130°C and can withstand reflow soldering processes with a maximum temperature of +260°C.

Compliance and Safety

The adaptor is lead-free and fully compliant with RoHS 3 and REACH environmental regulations, making it suitable for use in a variety of commercial and industrial electronics projects where material restrictions apply.

Ideal For

This SOIC to DIP adaptor is perfect for electronics engineers, technicians, and hobbyists involved in prototyping, repair, or small-scale production. It enables the testing and use of modern SOIC integrated circuits on legacy DIP sockets or breadboards, offering great flexibility in design and development workflows.
