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.
