PLCC-68 to DIP-40 Programming Adapter — Altera EP1810 — Clamshell Socket

Overview

The PA1800-68Z is a device-specific programming adapter designed for Altera EP1810 devices. This adapter supports PLCC packages conforming to JEDEC MO-047-AE and converts the interface to a 40-pin DIP footprint for programming and test applications. It features a clamshell socket for secure device retention and consistent electrical contact during repeated programming cycles.

Interface

This adapter converts a 68-pin PLCC device to a 40-pin DIP footprint with a .600″ row spacing. The top interface follows JEDEC MO-047-AE dimensions with a .050″ pitch, .954″ x .954″ body size, and .990″ x .990″ shoulder size. Wiring is device specific, so pin mapping should be confirmed against the datasheet.
