SOT23 to DIP Programming Adapters
SOT23 to DIP adapters allow SOT23 packaged ICs to be programmed using standard DIP-based programmers and development systems.
Overview
A SOT23 to DIP adapter converts a Small Outline Transistor (SOT23) package to a dual in-line package (DIP) format for device programming and engineering evaluation.
SOT23 packages are widely used for small signal devices, regulators, sensors, and compact integrated circuits. Because SOT23 packages are surface-mount devices with a small footprint, they cannot be inserted directly into standard DIP programmer sockets.
A SOT23 to DIP programming adapter provides the mechanical interface and signal routing required to allow these devices to be programmed using DIP-based programmers and evaluation hardware.
Adapt-Plus programming adapters are engineered for precise pin alignment, reliable electrical contact, and stable device positioning during repeated programming cycles.
These adapters are part of the Programming Adapters product family.

Not Finding What You Need?
Some SOT23 devices require custom pin mapping or specialized programming socket configurations. If the adapter required for your device is not listed, Adapt-Plus can assist with custom programming adapter solutions.
Custom adapters are available for engineering development, device validation, and production programming environments.
