Proto-Advantage DIP-8 to SOIC-8 Narrow Adaptor PCB

The Proto-Advantage DIP-8 to SOIC-8 Narrow Adaptor is a compact PCB that enables a SOIC-8 Narrow (150/200 mil body, 0.050''/1.27mm pitch) surface-mount footprint on a motherboard to be soldered and wired out to through-hole DIP-8 connections, providing easy probing, debugging, or IC replacement. This adaptor simplifies the interface between SMD and through-hole technologies, making it ideal for development, testing, and repair tasks.

The top side of the board fits a standard DIP-8 IC with a 0.3'' row width (DIP300). The bottom side features SMD pads for the pre-installed SMD-SMD header, which converts the footprint to a SOIC-8N pattern. The adaptor comes with the HDR-SOICN headers cut to size and already fitted on the bottom, so it is ready to use out of the box.

Key Features

• Converts an 8-pin DIP footprint to an 8-pin SOIC-8 Narrow (SOIC-8N) footprint
• Supports SOIC-8 Narrow body sizes of 150 and 200 mil, with a 1.27mm pitch
• Top side accommodates a DIP-8 IC with 0.3'' row width (DIP300)
• Bottom side has SMD pads for the pre-installed SMD-SMD header
• Includes HDR-SOICN headers, cut to size and pre-assembled
• Compact board dimensions: 10.16 x 10.16mm with a 1.6mm thickness

This adaptor is an essential tool for electronics engineers, hobbyists, and technicians who need to interface surface-mount devices with traditional through-hole prototyping boards or replace failed ICs. Its straightforward design ensures reliable connectivity and ease of use.
