Hi Keith,

I only use these for proto-typing, getting a proper PCB done after with the
SMT pads on the PCB. I have used them before for small designs though, but
only for 1 or 2 offs etc.

Hi Dave,

I have seen similar adapters before. They are OK for prototyping but not
really any good for production work as they are way too expensive.
>£5-00 to
hold a chip that costs about 3 or 4 quid just isnt viable. It also still
leaves you with the problem of actually having to solder  something that
you
(well "I" at least) cant see !

My eyes have deteriorated seriously over the last 3 or 4 years and I think
it is partially down to the fat that I spend far too much time at a
PC......
and the onset of age (42 in 3 months).

Keith
