Damn badly designed e-commerce websites... Linking spec PDFs for DIP package components when selling the SMT component...

Rather than getting bent over by UPS for another 50$ for brokerage fees on 4.32 worth of ICs - would anyone here have the ability to solder these 8 & 20 pin SSOP chips to a DIP conversion board?

Shoot me a PM if you can,

Andy

you dont NEED reflow gear to solder SSOP IC's. I do it all the time at work with a good quality iron.... just need some desolder braid.

Get a weave tip for your iron, plenty of flux, and its done.

Tin your Adapter, dot of glue to hold the chip in place on the pcb, and flux, and weave!.
