common SMT breakout board design

(1/1)

cnt:


Does anyone have a pre-panelized smt breakout board design with multiple common footprints?  Its easy enough to make but i'm pretty lazy.  Also i noticed you can buy them but they're way more expensive vs just sending a PCB out to china these days.

Yes I agree. They're really expensive but I found a local seller on ebay who sold then for cheap. "Common foot prints" are SOIC and TSSOP.  14 pins is also usually the most I'll ever use. Just put a SOIC-14 footprint on top and a TSSOP-14 on the bottom. Then connect the pads to 0.1inch headers. This should take you less than 5 minutes. Also most PCB manufacturers offer panelling free of charge, so you don't need to do it in the design stage

Of all people, TI do, and again, of all the ways to buy it, Digikey was cheapest.

Picked up a few a while back, after running into a case where it would have saved me a PCB spin, haven't used any yet.

I buy them off amazon, for 8-$10 for 20-30 pcs.
