Proto-Advantage Compact Series SOIC-8 to DIP-8 SMT Adaptor

The Proto Advantage PA0001C is a professional-grade surface mount adaptor designed to bridge the gap between modern SOIC-8 packages and traditional DIP-8 sockets. This versatile tool from the Compact Series is engineered for reliability and ease of integration in your prototyping, testing, and development workflows.

It features pre-installed machine pins on its bottom side, ensuring a ready-to-use solution that saves valuable assembly time. The pins are secured using a robust surface mount with partial through-hole technology, providing exceptional mechanical strength and superior positional accuracy for a reliable electrical connection.

Key Specifications & Features

• Package Conversion: Converts from an 8-pin SOIC package (with a 150/200mil body and 1.27mm pitch) to a standard 8-pin DIP footprint (300mil body, 0.1-inch pitch).
• Board Construction: Manufactured from high-quality FR-4 material that meets the UL94V-0 flammability rating and is built to the IPC-A-610 Class II standard for assured quality.
• Electrical Performance: Offers a continuous current rating of 0.6A at a 10°C temperature rise and 1.1A at a 40°C temperature rise, suitable for a wide range of low-power applications.
• Robust Operating Range: Designed to perform reliably in demanding environments with an operating temperature range from -40°C to +130°C.
• Compliance & Safety: The adaptor is lead-free and fully compliant with RoHS 3 and REACH environmental directives.
• Reflow Compatibility: Withstands maximum reflow temperatures of up to +260°C, making it compatible with standard lead-free solder reflow processes.

With its compact dimensions, high-quality construction, and precise engineering, this adaptor is an indispensable accessory for electronics engineers, technicians, and hobbyists working on circuit verification, programming, or bread
