For a hobby project, I've found the perfect part for converting battery power to a very low current (2 ma at most) 28V power supply. And that is the Linear Technologies LT8410-1 "Ultralow Power Boost Converter".
The problem is that the only package available is a tiny surface mount chip that's 2 x 2 millimeters, which effectively makes it impossible to deal with using a soldering iron.
Does anyone know of a solution that would let me use this chip - a socket, or some way to solder it? Or, does anyone know of another part that performs similarly but has a more hobby-friendly package option?
Thanks for any suggestions.
