The robust PCB material and precise pin alignment further confirm its high quality, making this adapter an essential tool for efficient prototyping and breadboarding small surface mount devices.
Know before you buy
Schmartboard's patented technology features a unique trace design that acts as a guide for your soldering iron. It helps pull the solder into the joint, significantly reducing the risk of accidental bridges between the fine-pitch pins.
Yes. Once you solder your SMT component onto the adapter board, the included header pins allow you to plug the entire assembly directly into a standard breadboard for easy prototyping.
This kit is a 6-in-1 solution. It includes two boards for SOT 23 (0.95mm pitch), two boards for SOT 323, 353, and 363 (0.65mm pitch), and two boards for SC70 packages with up to 6 legs (0.65mm pitch).
No, the kit includes a 40-pin header as a bonus, which you can break apart to fit the specific adapter board you are using.
While you can technically desolder components, these boards are primarily designed for permanent prototyping. Repeated heating and desoldering may damage the pads, so it is best to treat each board as a dedicated home for your specific component.
