  • Modular Component Breakout Boards such as these include both an SMD adapter (SOIC-8) and passive component pads in a single reusable SMD breakout board.
  • Dual Rows of Solder Pin Holes provides much more flexibility in soldering and mounting your circuit. Jumper wires can also be soldered between holes, reducing number of breadboard connections.
  • Oversized Solder Pads simplify hand soldering. Can be easily soldered without special equipment in as little as a few seconds. See our website for easy soldering tips.
  • Integrated Local Common/Ground Plane allows the use of SOIC-8 devices with thermal solder pads on the bottom. This SMT adapter can be used for high power converters with higher operating temps.
  • 0603/0805 Footprint Pads between each pin and the local common plane (or pin to pin) allow for integrated onboard SMT res/cap connections, greatly reducing the number of wired connections.

Product Description

Benefits of Our Advanced Solderable Breadboards

Signal Integrity Improvements

Improved Signal Quality

Tight integration of your integrated circuit and the passives makes for improved signal quality and noise suppression.

SOT-6 Circuit Board Intration of Passives and Wires

Advanced Integration

Combine all your passive components in a single module with the integrated passive component pads and additional set of solderable holes.

Custom Circuit Solutions Reusability of the Modules

Optimized Reusability

By incorporating all circuit components in a single module, that module can quickly be reused and tested in various other circuits.

Soldering Our Custom Circuit Boards

Enhanced Solderability

Our prototype circuit boards offer over sized SMD pads and extended thermal ground pads under the chips, which make soldering easy for users.

  • All that is needed is a basic soldering iron. We prefer to use a small to medium chisel tip but it can successfully be done with others. If you have a board warmer, it can help the solder flow better. See the other FAQs about the flux to use.

  • Yes, the most important thing you can do to make soldering easier is to use lots of flux. This allows the solder to flow properly and adhere to the metals components that need to be soldered. You can never use too much flux.

  • Any type of flux can be used, however, we personally use a water soluble flux. It provides very good solderability and can then be easily washed off with water.

  • By placing your passive components close to your integrated circuits, without long wires or on a bread board, you are significantly reducing the parasitic resistance, capacitance, and inductance of the wires that can introduce noise and other issues.

  • The boards are manufactured as an array with pre-cut scoring between boards. When one is needed, simply bend the board back and forth a couple times along those lines and they should easily snap apart. No tools are necessary.

Don't Be Intimidated by SMT Soldering

Soldering Your Modules


There are many possible ways to do SMT soldering by hand, and despite what you've heard, there is no one right way to do it. We've been doing this for decades with great success and you don't need a lot of fancy equipment. If there's one thing that will make or break your soldering it is good flux. People tend to like no clean flux because you don't have to wash it off but in our opinion it doesn't work as well as water soluble. We use lots of water based flux and then just wash it off.

I purchased this 512 Gig SSD and it came fast and worked fine. Usually I would have given this 5 stars but it replaced the same unit that failed after 4 months. Luckily the original one was under warranty and will be replaced. I noticed that the edge card connectors on the one that failed were not etched properly so I don't know about the quality of this product.

I needed pull-up resistors for 16 channel I/O expander (PCF8575). I was reluctant to take the board real estate of regular resistors. I had never tried doing surface mount devices, especially considering how my hands shake (Essential Tremor). But I thought the potential benefit was worth the try. The holes lined up perfectly with the PCF8575 module pins, and the pads made the soldering much simpler. It is still challenging to hold the chip in place long enough to solder, but a touch of flux helps.

Size: MSOP-8. When selecting adapters like these, pay attention to the pin spacing! Old school ICs in DIP with .1” pin spacing are getting harder to find, so adapters like these are essential for prototyping or evaluating these new-fangled tiny surface-mount ICs. Soldering the SMC IC to the adapter is a challenge, whether using solder paste or thin solder, requiring the utmost skill and a bit of luck. This is no fault of the adapter product whatsoever.

The fact that there are two rows on each side to select for headers to use for prototyping is an intelligent idea. Having the extra contacts for ground, allow you to put the bypass capacitors on the board instead of trying to fit them in next to it on your prototyping board.

I've been doing a LOT of prototyping on solderless breadboards and using simple SMD to DIP adapters. But many of the ICs require several caps and resistors to perform as desired. Throughhole electrolytic caps are NOT substitutes for SMD MLCC caps. They are COMPLETELY different animals. It took me DAYS of studying, testing and diving into the world of MLCC capacitor DC Bias to understand THAT.Throughhole resistors are much noisier, use up too many holes on the breadboard, risk making contact with other TH components, and often DON'T make contact well enough in the solderless breadboard to prototype rapidly and reliably.These unique adapters are absolutely PERFECT when I'm working with linear regulators and such, so the prototyping most accurately reflects the performance that the assembled PCB will have, and the analysis with oscilloscope and circuit outcome is more reliable.These boards are pricey, but absolutely worth it to have on hand. Get all 3 versions so when your need changes, you don't wait on shipping.Don't forget to get a wide range of SMD caps and resistors to have as well. They are CHEAP, and will be what gets assembled on the board anyhow. 50 in tape form is a great low cost price break point on Digikey. And since that shipping bites a bit, order the large variety at one go.Also consider an Aidetek BoxAll SMD organizer. Between these types of boards, the Digikey SMD passives and the organizer, you'll feel like a pro and be well organized.

I am using the SOT-6 adapter to breadboard an A/D converter circuit. This adapter has pads for 12 smt parts that allows me to add filtering and decoupling capacitors right at the chip, which maximizes circuit performance.

This little PCB break out works great with my AtTin785 chips. Working with these makes life so much easier for me during the design and the test phase in my electronic projects. These are also well built parts with high quality components. Soldering to the tabs is a breeze as the solder attached to the metal without any flux. I love these and plan to buy more after I run out.
