Hi
I was looking around for a QFN/QFP/BGA to DIL Adapter but I can't find anything that would be cheap enough for a hobbyst but would still be reusable. I found a couple Clamshell ones but they usually costed 200$(sic!) the chip itself was 10$...
Anybody knows of online shops which could sell that kind of product?
Fry's Electronics had some boards that allowed QFP prototyping. The company name is something like Smartz board. The PCB has a special footprint with very heavy solder already on the pads. Between the pads is a very thick solder mask that is built up to sit above the pads. The parts actually self-align and you can solder them with an iron.
I think this company advertises in Nuts and Volts. I will see if I can find a link when I get home tonight.
Yep, that is the one I was thinking about. Unfortunately, my spelling was bad. According to their advertisements, a 10 year old can solder these boards. Prices were too bad either.
