Socket for 28 pin SOIC

Does anyone have a part-number/supplier for a SOIC socket that I can
stuff onto a breadboard? There are a number of IC's (up to 28-pin SOIC)
I have lying around that I'd like to play with.

Thanks

    You aren't going to like it much,

    -28
    The adapter is about $70.00 US, but you still need the main socket which
    goes for around $200.00.

    has a adapter it only sells for about $80.00

    I find it a lot cheaper to simply add some small SOIC or TQFP prototype
    board PCB layouts to a PCB layout
    I have www.expresspcb.com make for me. Since you can cram a lot of stuff
    onto a board it's more
    cost effective.

    Chris,

    I etch my own adapters pretty easily. I use Eagle layout editor from
    CadSoft. It is fairly easy to use and it is available as freeware
    with some limitations. Once I have the layout I use a laser printer
    with transfer paper from Dyna Art to transfer it to copper. I can get
    10 mil traces with this paper using a household iron. There is
    somewhat of a special touch to get it right but it is alot cheaper
    than commercial adapters. I don't have any of the boards that I
    etched handy for pictures to post here but I was able to make an
    adapter for a Mictor connector with this process and a breakout board
    for a 44 pin QFP for a PIC emulator. All boards so far have been 1
    layer. I am planning on etching my own basic stamp 2P40 boards and
    build a BS2P for less than $40. That includes buying all of the parts
    necessary from Parallax and Digikey. The footprint will be alot
    bigger but at least my pocketbook won't be lighter.

    I offer some little adapter PCBs for SO-8, SO-16, SO-28 for cheap.

    The adapters come as a small board containing several adapters. You have
    to cut them apart with tin snips, solder on the SMT chip and add pins (I
    use cut-off resistor leads). The boards are double sided with plated thru
    holes and solder mask.

    The SO-8 adapters take narrow (0.15") and wide (0.20") chips up to 8 pins.
    The SO-16 adapters take narrow body (0.15") chips up to 16 pins.
    The SO-28 adapters take wide body (0.3") chips up to 28 pins.

    5 - SO-8 adapters $1.00 US
    3 - SO-8, 3 - SO-16 $2.00 US
    1 - SO-8, 2 - SO-28 $2.00 US
    1 - SO-16, 2 - SO-28 $2.00 US

    Add $1.00 US for shipping for up to 5 of the above cards.

    Important note about the SO-8 adapters: the SMT part is mounted on the
    UNDERSIDE of the adapter. There just isn't enough room to mount a 0.200"
    wide SO-8 with gull wing leads between 0.3" DIP spaced leads.

    Have a look at
    <http://www.trinity-electronics.com/public_html/customproducts.htm> and
    contact me via PRIVATE email if you can use any of these.

    DigiKey sells "Surfboards", made by Capital Advanced Technologies
    Inc. If you have the current Digi-Key catalog, it's on page 821.
    You have to solder the surface mount device to the Surfboard (a
    tricky process), then you can plug it into a standard breadboard.
    Unfortunately, the boards shown in the catalog only go up to 20 pins.

    I found some good tips on soldering surface mount chips on the Yahoo
    Groups board "Electronics 101"; you might search those messages.
