Cost: $1.00 for three.

Description:

Breakout board for 8-SOIC/EP package. Converts 8-SOIC/EP to breadboard-friendly 0.1-inch pitch by 0.4-inch width through-hole format.

Wide traces on all pins, suitable for use with power packages. For ICs with exposed pad, it is provided, with thermal vias to bottom side copper pour and unmasked copper on bottom side to aid soldering.

The lower-middle through-hole pad is connected to the IC exposed pad; solder a wire in this hole and jumper to appropriate IC pin.

Pins numbered on top side for quick reference and silk screen area on reverse to write part number, pin annotations, etc.

This is intended as a breadboard testing aid only. It will not provide adequate heatsinking to reach datasheet thermal limits, so don’t turn the wick up all the way!

Cost: $0.60 for three.

Description:

Breakout board for SOT-23, SOT-323, SOT-343, SOT-353 and SOT-363 packages. Converts these 3, 4, 5 and 6-pin SMD components to breadboard-friendly 0.1-inch pitch by 0.3-inch width through-hole format. Pins numbered for quick reference.

Cost: $1.20 for three.

Description:

Small board to feed power from your bench supply to a solderless breadboard.

Install a 2x2 pin header at one end, on the bottom side. Solder wires at the other end (positive to square pad). Terminate wires with red and black banana plugs. Install this slide switch on the top side. Use a small zip-tie around the notches to provide wire strain relief.
