Proto-Advantage 1.27mm Pitch 10-Pin Female Header to DIP-10 Adaptor

The Proto-Advantage Dual Row 1.27mm Pitch 10-Pin Female Header to DIP-10 Adaptor (DR127D254P10F) is a pre-assembled conversion interface designed for prototyping and testing. This compact adapter elegantly bridges the gap between modern 1.27mm pitch female headers and the classic 300mil width DIP-10 footprint, enabling easy integration of surface-mount components into through-hole breadboards or sockets.

The adapter is constructed from high-quality FR-4 UL94V-0 rated PCB material, ensuring excellent electrical insulation and flame retardancy. It is built to IPC-A-610 Class II standards, guaranteeing reliable assembly quality for industrial and commercial applications. The robust design supports an operating temperature range from -40°C to +130°C, making it suitable for a wide variety of environments.

Key Features & Construction

• Pre-Assembled Design: Comes ready-to-use with both top and bottom headers installed, saving valuable assembly time.
• High-Quality Contacts: The top side features a gold-plated dual-row surface-mount vertical female header, while the bottom uses two gold-plated single-row surface-mount vertical male headers, ensuring low-contact resistance and reliable signal integrity.
• DIP Interface: The bottom DIP-10 pins are configured as 0.64mm square wire-wrap pins, providing a secure fit in standard IC sockets or prototyping boards.
• Compact Footprint: With PCB dimensions of 17.78mm x 12.7mm x 1.6mm (700mils x 500mils x 62.5mils), it offers a space-saving solution for dense layouts.
• Reflow Compatible: The PCB can withstand reflow soldering temperatures up to +260°C, facilitating automated assembly processes.

This versatile adaptor is an essential tool for electronics engineers, hobbyists, and technicians, simplifying the process of converting between different packaging types during development, debugging, and small-scale production.
