The BrownDog™ 131101 is an SO20 (SOIC-20) to 20 pin DIP adapter. With the electronics industry’s move to surface-mount technology, many integrated circuits are now only available in SMT packages. While SMT is preferable for high-volume, automated manufacturing, prototyping and evaluation with this type of IC is difficult without a way to easily connect test probes to their contact pins. And compared to its through-hole siblings, it is difficult to remove an SMD from its circuit board without expensive hot-air rework equipment, and without damaging the component itself or the PCB. The 131101 adapter provides a convenient solution when working with SO20-package devices in these situations. As a pin-to-pin adapter, an SO20 component installed on the 131101 will be functionally equivalent to a 20 pin DIP device. Whether you’re replacing an existing DIP device, designing for interchangeability, or in prototyping and evaluation, the 131101 is the perfect answer.
The 131101 is made with contemporary PCB design techniques, software, and manufacturing. With electroless nickel immersion gold (ENIG) surface finish for conductivity and flat surface planarity, there will be no detectable difference between an SO20 device (0.050 in./1.27mm pitch) mounted to the 131101 and an equivalent DIP device.
