Re: [N8VEM-S100:5949] SOIC Packages For S100 Boards - Survey Question

There are adapters. I looked into this. It adds cost and a lot more
soldering to the project. SOIC are smaller than the DIP's  so even
if you did use adapters they would not fit.

I'm not planning on using SOIC for any future projects based on
feedback.

Thank you.

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.

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.
