First blog for all Quorten's blog-like writings

Got some integrated circuits that you’d love to use except that they are in the stubborn surface mount device packaging? Sometimes there have been cases in the past where a third party manufacturer would solder these onto through-hole boards, but too often those parts are discontinued. So, surely there’s ought to be a more general adapter approach available, shouldn’t there? Indeed, there is. The most advanced adapters have a full socket that makes it really easy to insert your surface mount chips, but there are very few of these in stock. Far more common is a more bare circuit board approach where you can solder on your surface-mount device to the adapter, the place the adapter in your through-hole system.
