This board is a redesign of the now retired 16-Pin SSOP-DIP adapter.

We also offer a number of other surface mount to through-hole conversion boards:

• 20-Pin SOIC to DIP Adapter
• 28-Pin SOIC to DIP Adapter
• 8-Pin SSOP to DIP Adapter
• 20-Pin SSOP to DIP Adapter
• 28-Pin SSOP to DIP Adapter
• SOT23 to DIP Adapter
• 8-pin SOIC to DIP Adapter, which also has its own hookup guide.

For legs on the adapter, we have two options.

• Breakaway 0.1" headers
• Flip pins. while we don't have a 16-pin set of flip pins, you can use two 8-pin sets, or 16 pins out of a 20-pin set.
