MSOP to DIP Programming Adapters
Convert MSOP surface-mount devices to standard DIP plug footprints for IC programmers,
development systems, and ZIF socket interfaces.
Overview
MSOP to DIP adapters provide a socketed MSOP device interface on the adapter top side and a standard 0.100" pitch DIP plug footprint on the bottom side for programming and development systems.
This adapter family is directional by definition: MSOP → DIP. MSOP pitch, body size, and row spacing are device-dependent and must be confirmed prior to selection.
Electrical routing is defined per SKU and may be 1:1 or device-specific, depending on the target device and programming requirements.
Mechanical Configuration
- Top interface: MSOP (Mini Small Outline Package), gull-wing leads
- MSOP pitch: 0.50 mm or 0.65 mm (SKU dependent)
- Bottom interface: 0.100" (2.54 mm) pitch DIP plug footprint
- DIP span: 0.300" (300 mil) or 0.600" (600 mil), SKU dependent
- Socket vs pad: Device interface is socketed unless otherwise specified on the SKU
Routing Configurations
Routing is defined at the product level and is disclosed on each individual SKU page. The sub-hub does not target routing variations.
- 1:1 Mapping: Direct pin-to-pin continuity between the MSOP device pins and the corresponding DIP plug pins.
- Device-Specific Mapping: Signal reassignment to match manufacturer pinouts or programmer requirements.
- Skips or Shorts: Implemented only when required by device architecture or programming interface constraints.
Confirm routing requirements before selection to prevent incompatibility with target programming systems.
