Proto-Advantage DIP-8 to TO-8 SMT Adaptor 2.54mm Pitch

The Proto-Advantage IPC0267C is a highly specialised adaptor from the Compact Series, designed to convert a DIP-8 footprint to a TO-8 package in surface mount applications. This precision component facilitates the integration of through-hole style devices into modern, space-saving surface-mount technology (SMT) designs, offering engineers and hobbyists greater flexibility in prototyping and production.

Constructed from high-quality FR-4 PCB material rated UL94V-0 for flame retardancy, the adaptor ensures reliable performance and durability. The bottom-side machine pins are pre-installed for convenience, featuring a durable gold plating of 1µm over 50µm nickel for excellent conductivity and corrosion resistance. These pins have a diameter of 0.46mm and a length of 3mm.

A key technical feature is the surface mount with partial through-hole installation technology. This hybrid approach ensures exceptional positional accuracy during soldering, providing a secure and stable electrical connection crucial for sensitive electronic circuits. The compact design is ideal for densely populated printed circuit boards where saving space is paramount.
