Adafruit SMT Test Socket - TSSOP-16

These test sockets are designed to provide a reliable and convenient method to program and test surface-mount technology (SMT) parts in TSSOP packages, offering an experience reminiscent of Zero Insertion Force (ZIF) sockets used for Dual In-line Package (DIP) chips.Specifications include compatibility with any 4.4mm (0.147 inches) wide TSSOP/SSOP with up to 20 pins. The socket holds the chip securely against gold contacts, ensuring optimal connectivity and performance.The device transforms the SMT into a 20-pin DIP with a 0.6-inch spacing, facilitating straightforward breadboarding. It's an ideal solution for engineers and designers who need to experiment with TSSOP parts without permanently soldering them into place.Manufactured by Yamaichi, this high-quality Japanese socket guarantees longevity and precision, provided that your chip's dimensions comply with the specified limits to fit perfectly.
