EMC (electro mechanical components) is offering Ironwood Electronics' SOIC Carrier Adapters. These components make it easy to probe and quickly switch ICs on a board with SMT lands only. The CA-SO28E-Z-J-01 has a clam shell style zero insertion force (ZIF) socket on top and a J-lead type surface-mount foot on the bottom.

The SOIC J-lead type surface-mount foot (which is a true emulation of a SOIC package) solders to a target board SOIC land pattern with simple hand soldering procedure.

The top part of the adapter plugs onto the foot through a gold plated mini grid array pin interface assembly. High signal integrity is accomplished with a use of short trace lengths and gold plated pins. Other top and bottom interfaces are also available.
