how do people use SOP(small outline package) , QPK,
LCC pakage type ICs for prototyping : as breadboards
are normally for DIPs . Can anyone pls explain/advise
as to how i can interface various SOP ICs that i need
to use with my STAMP which can easily be inserted in a
breadboard. Are they some pakcage convertors available
and if so how do they handle different pin counts

    I've never used them, but I noticed www.jameco.com carries just what you
    are talking about. Sorry I don't remember exactly what they were called or
    I would give you a link. But you are on the right track.

    Hello,




    If you don't mind a little extra soldering you can get some snap apart
    converters at:




    www.beldynsys.com




    I was looking for some converters also and found that a SINGLE SMD to
    DIP converter for an SO8 can cost from 5-10 dollars (i needed about 5)
    . At Bellin you can get 140 for $50! Of course "some assembly is
    required" (you have to solder on the DIP pins, easy compared to
    soldering on the SO8!). You can also get a snap apart board that has
    a 8,14,16,18,20 pin selection.




    jameco also carries some of the Bellin stuff also.
