Proto-Advantage TSSOP-8 to DIP-8 SMT Adaptor, 0.65mm Pitch, 10.16x10.16mm

The Proto-Advantage PA0032C is a high-quality surface mount adaptor from the Compact Series, designed to bridge the gap between modern TSSOP-8 integrated circuits and traditional DIP-8 sockets or prototype boards. This adaptor enables easy testing, programming, and integration of fine-pitch surface-mount devices into standard breadboard or through-hole environments.

The adaptor features bottom-side machine pins that come pre-installed, saving time and ensuring a reliable connection. These pins are precision gold-plated (1µm gold over 50µm nickel) for excellent conductivity and corrosion resistance, measuring 0.46mm in diameter and 3mm in length. The innovative installation method uses surface mount technology with partial through-hole anchoring, guaranteeing exceptional positional accuracy for a secure and stable fit.

Constructed from robust FR-4 material with a UL94V-0 flammability rating, the PCB is both durable and safe for electronic applications. The compact design, with dimensions of just 10.16mm by 10.16mm and a height of 1.6mm, makes it an ideal solution for space-constrained projects or for creating tidy, professional prototyping setups.

Key Applications

• Converting 8-pin TSSOP packages (0.65mm pitch) for use in standard DIP-8 sockets.
• Prototyping and testing surface-mount ICs without requiring a custom PCB.
• Enabling programming of TSSOP devices using DIP-based programmers.
• Integrating modern, fine-pitch components into legacy or educational through-hole circuit designs.

This adaptor is an essential tool for electronics engineers, hobbyists, and educators, providing a reliable and straightforward method to work with advanced surface-mount components.
