SMD socket for standard DIP? (.300)

forget the pin header -- found it -- too pricey.

, what is the part designation? -- thanks much

know that smd part also.)

something like this?

Bye Jack

You could use a normal (not precision) socket and bend the pins 90 degrees to both sides. Of course this only a solution for a prototype.

There are tools and services that will re-form DIP leads into surface mount, make j-leads of them. But it would be tough to change the pitch.

Ok -- sounds like I'll just have to buy new parts and trash my dips.

Thanks.

There's SMD optoisolators. Most of the ones that I've seen look like through-hole parts with lead forming, but that should work fine.

Anything wrong with bending the leads out? Or even leaving them straight (though the ends need to be trimmed flush).

Both appear in IPC standards, so I assume they've been used as at least semi-standard assembly methods at some point in history.

As others have mentioned, stock "SMT" versions usually look like the same article, formed and trimmed differently.

If you have like a thousand pieces on hand you want to reel up and use, or something... maybe you should just hock them on eBay?
