MIX SURFACE MOUNT AND LEADED PARTS
WHY NOT GET THE BEST OF BOTH WORLDS.
|
In real world prototype, test, and circuit development, as well as when building
circuit upgrades or modifications, the need arises to be able to use both the Surface
mount and conventional leaded component technologies.
|
| Several Surfboard models for I.C.s,
discrete devices, and application specific adapters feature Single-In-Line (SIP) pins on
.100 in. centers. This means your assemblies are compatible with both conventional and
solderless breadboards as well as sockets. |

The assembly on left shows a Surfboard Sub-assembly plugged into a socket strip
mounted on a UNI-SIP (through-Hole) breadboard module, which in
turn features SIP pins for plug-in convenience. Uni-Sip boards can serve as mini-mother
boards for Surfboard assemblies. |
Surfboards can also be modified by drilling holes to accept leaded devices where
needed. A wide range of hybridization's are possible with simple modifications. The
example circuits on the right show larger leaded devices mounted topside, while the
Surface Mount devices are on the bottom. |
