Low-cost basic SOIC break out boards. These are custom PCB boards that interface standard SOIC devices to standard .1" headers.
Pad layout fits all standard SOIC devices. 28-SOIC Standard .6" spacing between pins. Will fit directly into a standard width (600 mil) DIP socket. For wide ICs (memories, drivers, 74s, etc). 40 Pin break-away headers are perfect for use with these custom PCBs. Machine pin headers may be a better option for IC sockets.
This skill defines how difficult the soldering is on a particular product. It might be a couple simple solder joints, or require special reflow tools.
Skill Level: Competent - You will encounter surface mount components and basic SMD soldering techniques are required.

Doesn't even come with pins!
Do they make a solderless version?
any chance that we will/could see these in a 24 pin model?
Just neglect the last 4 pins when populating the DIP holes (use 12-pin or breakaway headers), and be sure to solder the SOIC pin 1 to pin 1 on the adapter. Instant 24-pin SOIC adapter from the 28-pin.
I need these in 32 pin pleawse
Given that this chip http://www.sparkfun.com/products/10444 doesn't fit, that means it's not soic?
the datasheet for that chip says it's an sop package
