SchmartBoard Releases SOIC to DIP Adapter with “ez” Soldering

This initial offering is an SOIC to DIP adapter with a twist. The product has SchmartBoard’s patented ez technology, which makes soldering the SMT component simple, quick and flawless. SchmartBoard is the only company with a patented solution for easily soldering of surface mount parts. Future offerings will include adapters for other SOIC pitches as tight as .5mm and for other packages such as QFP and QFN.

“Many universities, professionals and hobbyists still use breadboards, despite the difficulties of utilizing SMT components with them,” says Neal Greenberg, SchmartBoards’ VP of Sales and Marketing. “We have had many requests to make our technology more compliant with breadboards. This product will subsequently empower breadboard users to make use of current IC technology and not rely on DIP versions of new chips which are becoming much less prevalent.”
