Adafruit SMT Test Socket - TSSOP-28 Breakout

You know those ZIF sockets we have for DIP chips? Well, these are just like that but for SMT parts. Now you can program and test out your favorite new parts in TSSOP packages. This test socket is suitable for any 4.4mm (0.147") wide TSSOP/SSOP with up to 28 pins. Simply press down on the top, place the chip in carefully, and then release to latch the chip in. The chip is held securely against gold 'fingers' in the socket. Please note the body of the chip you're trying to use, for example, the FT232RL has a 5.3mm wide body and will not fit!

The socket is soldered onto a pair of PCBs, turning it into, essentially, a 28 pin DIP with 0.6" spacing that can be breadboarded fairly easily.

This high-quality test socket features a Japanese construction ensuring durability and precision during repeated use. Ideal for swift prototyping and testing scenarios.
