TQFP to PDIP

[max_imum2000]

for some reasons i want to convert tqfp packages to pdip on some pics that i have 18F8520 and alike
can i just make a small pcb pin to pin compatible to do the job (programming and in circuit and so on?
or there is ready made ones i can buy ?

thanks

if you have the setup to make the fine pitch required, you're better off making them yourself.

buying pre-fab comes with a nice soldermask and silkscreen, and also a healthy price-tag, like $30-50 and up!

Schmartboards provide plated throughhole access points, just not DIP ones.
They're very cheap and supposed to be quite easy to solder the SMT part onto.
$10 and Fry's carries them!

The way I understand it, the traces are actually sunk into shallow trenches in the fiberglass and solder was used to fill in the trench. It sort of sucks in the pins but the solder doesn't overflow the trench and thus avoids most of the risk of bridging the pins. You don't apply extra solder to it.

Hi,
This "http://www.epboard.com/eproducts/pro...toDIPAdapt er" is quite the rip off! Ouch!
Too bad futurlec's adapter line is so limited - 0.70 - 0.90 USD. I've also seen them quite cheep here in Korea in the stores ~5 - 8 USD.
The Schmartboards look really nice, and not a bad price at all.
I just had to pipe up when I saw epboard's site. Funny how upset their prices made me!
Regards,
Robert

PS: here is a link to some adapters. They have a complete proto board for the PIC you mentioned for less than 20 bux.

Try proto-advantage,

They have more adapters than epBoard, and sell a TQFP-64 to DIP one for $14.99.
