SO to DIP package adapters
I still _do_ have some of these adapter "kits". They let you solder an SO-8
IC onto the adapter, then put it in any DIP-8 socket, for prototyping. I
used them for the LTC2400 part. If anyone is interested, please contact
me__off-list__.
Unfortunately Mohamed's MAX7219 is a 24-pin SO part, so I can't help there.
Sorry!

perhaps I should preface with a big, bold, [noparse][[/noparse]ADVERTISMENT] warning . . .
I just got my latest batch of boards in. Because I had some extra space on
the panel, I added some little 8 pin SMT adapters in the extra space. I
have FAR more than I need, so the extras are for sale.
You will get a little strip of PCB material with (5) SO-8 to DIP SMT
adapters. You have to cut them apart with tin snips or scissors, solder on
the SMT chip and add pins. The boards are double sided with plated thru
holes and solder mask.
I've done things a little backwards - I work with both 0.150" and 0.200"
wide SO-8 parts. Because there just isn't enough room to mount a 0.200"
wide SO-8 with gull wing leads between 0.3" DIP spaced leads, I've chosen
to mount the SMT part on the BOTTOM of the little adapter. In practice, it
has worked quite well. Removing the SMT chip from the bottom of the
adapter is a bit of a chore (not difficult, merely tedious) but I find that
I usually don't need to do that anyways.
My asking price is US 1.00 for 1 strip of 5 so-8 adapters.
I've also got a few so-28 adapters available. These are double sided with
plated through holes but no solder mask (they came from AP Circuits proto
service). They can be used for all 0.2" wide so parts up to 28 pins and
should work just fine with the MAX7219.
The so-28 adapters are US $1.00 each and I only have a few of them right now.
Add US $0.75 for shipping.
Please contact me off list.
