18-Pin SOIC to DIP Adapter .310” Plug Version – .3” DIP to Dual SOIC | LIF Socket

The 18-Pin SOIC to DIP Adapter .310” Plug Version offers a fast and easy way to convert a standard 18-pin, .3” wide DIP layout into two SOIC plug modules. With a .310” tip-to-tip spacing, this adapter supports devices that use a slightly wider SOIC footprint, which is common in many test and prototype setups.

This kit includes a DIP base board with a 0.100” pitch and two SOIC plug modules with a 0.050” pitch. Together, they create a reliable and compact layout for SOIC devices. A machined-pin LIF socket is already installed, allowing you to insert or replace chips easily—no special tools are needed.

Because of its narrow design, this adapter fits well in side-by-side gang layouts. It works great for engineers who need to test multiple configurations on one board or in a small space. Whether you are building a prototype or updating a design, this adapter saves time and simplifies your workflow.
