PA-DSO-0803-D250-08/2

PA-DSO-0803-D250-08/2 – 8-Pin 0.3″ DIP LIF Socket to 0.250″ SOIC Plug Adapter (Includes Two Plug Modules)

🧩 Overview

The PA-DSO-0803-D250-08/2 adapter provides a precise and compact interface for converting standard 8-pin 0.3″ (7.62 mm) DIP devices to a 0.250″ (6.35 mm) SOIC plug format.
It is engineered for prototyping, evaluation, and test environments where engineers require easy transitions between through-hole and surface-mount configurations.

Each adapter includes one DIP assembly PCB with a low-insertion-force (LIF) socket and two detachable SOIC plug modules.
Furthermore, additional plug sets are available separately in packs of six, allowing quick changeovers and increased flexibility for repetitive test operations.
