Re: [N8VEM-S100:5924] SOIC Packages For S100 Boards - Survey Question

Hi Don,

This may be a stupid question, but is there any possible use for SOIC to DIP adapters?

I really like the ability to quickly, easily, and safely, and replace individual chips -- plus, I'm halfway skilled at "old-fashoned" soldering -- but I'm unsure of all the surface mount stuff. (Again, I'm an amateur, so my comments should probably be weighted as such.)

Thank you, and Happy New Year.

Robert Greenstreet

I'm curious how you guys feel about using SOIC chips
instead of the traditional DIP. Yes they are a bit more
difficult to solder up and don't have a socket for easy
replacement.

I was wanting to add additional chips and a 10 position DIP
switch to the FP mini design. However there is just not enough
room. I may be able to squeeze them in but it would be very tight
and fear there may be no room for traces.
