SMT SOIC to DIP Adapters
SMT SOIC to DIP adapters convert SOIC surface-mount footprints to 0.100″ DIP plugs for replacement, development, and prototype applications.
Overview
SMT SOIC to DIP replacement adapters provide an electrical interface between a surface-mount SOIC footprint and a DIP plug used in through-hole sockets or breadboard environments.
The top interface consists of SMT pads designed to match the SOIC package footprint. The bottom interface presents a standard 0.100″ (2.54 mm) DIP plug that allows the adapter to be inserted into DIP sockets or prototype boards.
These adapters are commonly used when replacing SOIC surface-mount devices with socketed DIP-compatible assemblies during development, repair, or prototype testing.
Top Interface: SOIC surface-mount pads
Bottom Interface: 0.100″ DIP plug
Routing: 1:1 pin mapping between SOIC leads and DIP pins
Mechanical dimensions and electrical routing details are defined at the individual product level.
SOIC interface geometry follows standard SOIC surface-mount pad spacing and lead pitch for the specified package configuration.
DIP plug geometry follows standard 0.100″ (2.54 mm) pitch spacing compatible with DIP sockets and breadboard-style prototyping systems.
Substrate material is rigid FR-4 with plated-through vias. Pad geometry and copper weight are controlled to maintain dimensional stability and signal integrity.
Overall height, insertion depth, and body dimensions vary by part number and are specified at the product level.
These adapters are part of the Production Replacement Adapters product family.

Not Finding What You Need?
Some SOIC replacement applications require specific pin counts, package widths, or custom routing configurations. If the adapter required for your device is not listed, Adapt-Plus can assist with custom adapter solutions.
Custom adapters are available for development, repair, and specialized prototype requirements.
