Hi,
I am using LM3886's in a project of mine that will be constructed on perfboard. They are packaged in an 11-pin TO-220 package which does not fit the pre-drilled holes in the perfboard. As this is a small prototype getting a PCB printed is not an idea solution (however it may advance to PCB in the future).
Can anyone suggest a socket that can be used to adapt TO-220 packages to the usual DIP pin spacing? Any other suggestions welcome.
Thanks!
Edit: I would prefer to buy in a shop or via eBay, I am based on the UK and my main parts shop is Maplin. I have spoke to an employee there; he couldn't recommend anything but I'm not sure he understood the question.
