Update - 3/12/2003 - the boards are sold out July 29, 2001 I currently have a limited number of surface mount IC prototyping / experimenting boards for sale. The board is a plated thru, fiberglass board. It has 4 SMT patterns (on one side) for the following SMT packages: one 48 TQFP (Analog Devices 9830 DDS) one 28 SSOP (Analog Devices 9850 DDS) two 16 TSSOP (Analog Devices 9832, 9835 DDS) It'll also work with other types of parts than DDS, but the Analog devices DDS chips are probably of the most interest on this list. All surface mount pads are connected to indivdual plated through holes. The boards are NOT solder masked. You'll need to cut the individual adapters apart - this can be done with a hand shear, tin snips or a saw of some kind. The boards won't be sold seperately, it's a package deal. Price is $5.00 postpaid per board - residents of the US only, please. Due to the limited nature of this offer, please email before ordering to make sure they are still available. You can pay via credit card using Paypal My Paypal email address is: jacksonharbor@att.net Cash, check or money order also work. Send payment along with your address to: Jackson Harbor Press RR1, Box 91C Washington Island, WI 54246 I have used the 16 and 28 pin boards for DDS work, but I wouldn't claim that these are the world's greatest adapter boards, they will allow the experimenter to try out SMT parts at a low price. If I were doing these boards again, they wouldn't have any holes (Manhattan construction doesn't need them) which would make them smaller and cheaper, also, as someone on the qrp-l list suggested, they'd be flippy (have different patterns on each side).
