SOP16-DIP16 Adapter OTS-16-03 (150mil)

The SOP16-DIP16 Adapter OTS-16-03 (150mil)   is a type of PCB adapter used to convert a   Surface Mount Package (SOP)   with 16 pins to a Dual In-line Package (DIP)  with 16 pins. This adapter is particularly useful for prototyping, testing, or integrating surface-mount components into breadboards or through-hole PCBs.

Key Features:

1. SOP16 to DIP16 Conversion: Allows a 16-pin SOP IC to be used in a DIP socket or breadboard.
2. 150mil Pitch: The pin spacing (pitch) is 150 mils (0.15 inches or 3.81 mm), which is a standard spacing for DIP packages.
3. OTS-16-03 Model: This is the specific model number of the adapter, likely indicating its pin count and configuration.
4. Reusable: Can be used multiple times for different projects or components.
5. Compact Design: Provides a simple and efficient way to adapt surface-mount devices (SMD) to through-hole designs.

Typical Applications:

– Prototyping and testing SOP16 ICs on a breadboard.

– Adapting SOP16 components for use in through-hole PCBs.

– Debugging or programming SOP16 ICs using DIP-based tools.

How to Use:

1. Place the SOP16 IC into the adapter’s SOP16 footprint.
2. Solder the IC to the adapter if necessary.
3. Insert the adapter into a DIP16 socket or breadboard.

Notes:

– Ensure the SOP16 IC is correctly aligned with the adapter’s pins before soldering.

– Double-check the pinout of the SOP16 IC to match the adapter’s pinout.
