'Program-your-own' adapters allow quick low-cost prototyping

9 May 2001 Interconnection

Aries Electronics offers 'Program-Your-Own' Correct-A-ChipT adapters, that allow users to create small quantities of prototype adapters quickly and inexpensively by cutting and jumpering leads. The adapters enable the use of existing PCB layouts with upgraded ICs by converting DIP, PLCC, PGA, SOIC, BGA, and other device packages and emulators to fit different DIP footprints (some conversions may require additional Aries components).

The Program-Your-Own Correct-A-Chip adapter enables users to avoid costly tooling and set-up charges. The user - or Aries - can easily cut, jumper and solder the adapters to the desired configuration. The adapter is terminated in a 0,3 centre DIP configuration with 28 pins, but can be cut down to any pin count from 2 through 28. All top to bottom pin connections can easily be cut and jumpered to connect any pin to any pin.

The adapters are constructed of UL94V-0 rated FR-4, using standard Aries collet contacts as the socket pins. Conversions: QFP devices and bypass capacitators to BGA; socketed PLCC devices and associated pull-up resistors to BGA; SOIC devices and passive networks to BGA.
