SEE THE NEW BOARDS JUST IN!! ORDER THEM NOW!!
2 NEW QFP boards - 1 is 0.5 mm pitch for 24? to 52 pin QFP's. The other is 0.8 mm pitch up to 52 pins. IF you have some QFP packages smaller than 32 or larger than 44, send me email to see if they will fit yours.
Also - 2 new TSSOP and SOIC designs. 1 is a 56 pin TSSOP 0.635-0.65 mm pitch, and SOIC package. The other is a 28 pin TSSOP and 2-16 pin SOIC footprints with some PROTO-CHIP SMD thru pads for SMD parts, or wiring on back side.
WHEN YOU ABSOLUTELY, POSITIVELY, HAVE TO HAVE IT BUILT RIGHT THE FIRST TIME - PROTO-CHIP IS THE ANSWER!

AGAIN, I Welcome you, to the site that will hope to answer all your SMD and PTH prototyping problems.
My answer is simply this: Design THE BEST Surface Mount Device Protoboards!
You build up the BEST SMD circuits ever!
These are NOT "just another adapter board!", BUT, you could use them like that.
Breadboards flexible enough for the engineering and research projects, dealing with prototype construction of all sorts of devices, SMD and larger!
Surface Mount Devices are replacing all the DIP and Discrete packaging, sort of like when Tubes and crystals gave way to the transistor and integrated circuit.
These SMD breadboards enable you to build up a LARGER, more complete circuit with your SMD chips and added discretes!
YOU CAN CUT THEM INTO SMALLER PARTS! Use them as connector adapters, build small circuits on 1 part and cut it off, leaving more protoboard!

OUR LINE UP OF THE BREADBOARDS FOR THE FUTURE!
First came Proto-Chip! Our best seller! Use it for building small circuits or reworking modules!
Then, THE NEW PROTO-CHIP n' DIP (on the side). It has been replaced by the NEW Proto-Chip n' DIP2!! PROTO-CHIP N' DIP 2, JUST IN!! SEE ABOVE - 6 DIFFERENT IC FOOTPRINTS!!
Getting a few requests for the OLD Proto-Chip n' DIP board. ANY MORE REQUESTS FOR THE OLD CHIP N" DIP?
Then the TSSOP and Rectangular PLCC Proto-Chip board was recently added to the product line!!
TSSOP and PLCC board size is 2.05" x 2.25", See PIX Below!
NOW, the NEW PLCC ProtoBoard IS IN! A 4" x 4" 20 to 52 pin PLCC project board for micro's and controllers!! It has 4 SOIC areas, a DB-9 connector, micro protochip pads to the SOIC leads and power traces, Proto-Chip pads, DIP area for sockets and other devices. Has ground plane on back side. SEE Circuit Picture below! Order them for school or computer and robotic projects.
AND NOW - September 10, 2004 - 2 NEW QFP boards - 1 is 0.5 mm pitch for 24? to 52 pin QFP's. The other is 0.8 mm pitch up to 52 pins.
Also - 2 new TSSOP and SOIC designs. 1 is a 56 pin TSSOP 0.635-0.65 mm pitch, and SOIC package.
The other is a 28 pin TSSOP and 2-16 pin SOIC footprints with some PROTO-CHIP SMD thru pads for SMD parts, or wiring on back side.
They are 1.5" square, ground/power traces, ground plane on back. Same quality boards, and more functionality!

ORDER them ALL right here!
SEE the Order Links AT TOP OF PAGE, or, BELOW LEFT, for more description - AND THE SALE PRICES ARE THERE, NOT at the PAYPAL ONLY - BUY ME NOW Buttons BELOW EACH picture on the bottom half of this webpage, but they still will work for regular pricing.
THIS IS, THE BEST of Both Worlds, Colliding!
Where else, but THE BEST SMD Prototyping Site on the Net, if not the globe!

We now have our First Distributor! Logic Research Co. in New Zealand! See their link on the links page!
And working on the 2nd right now, and they sell SMD equipment for the lab, from solder, to pick and place machines!
We are working on a distributor in Israel also, will have links up when their site is ready!

Also will be posting some SMD parts and some DIP parts for sale as soon as I get it working. I am going to have to put up a sheet with #'s on it and try to get shopping cart to take multiple items.....
Any requests, email me with lists of needed parts.
The parts will be lower than most catalog prices, as best we can. Schools and others can send requests, and see what we can fill for you.

NEW Capacitor Article, Updated Soldering Article - Links Page is UPDATED with lots of new links!

SUMMER SALE is set up, BUY any board thru SHOPPING CART LINKS TO GET SALE PRICING! PAYPAL BUTTONS ARE NOT SALE PRICING! LINKS below left, for DEALS!......NOW, Buy pairs of boards at discounts, like the 2 big boards, one each of them. The 2 BIG Boards are for sale NOW!! Also The Proto-Chip, and Proto-Chip n' DIP 2 are together, ON SALE!
NEW - HUGE SUPER-LINKS PAGE! A lot of electronic parts, and electronics in general for some surfing or reference, some technical, and hobbyist and collector!
A masterpiece in the making, of the major websites for almost any references on electronics, radios, and test equipment. Google works too!
You probably know my preference of prototyping boards, so no comparasions yet, but I think its a good idea to put mine up against the "other" brands, like Consumer Reports.
Maybe we can get some emails on the good and bad of protoboards out there! Put them in the Guestbook for now. Everyone should be able to read them. The corkboard gets erased by someone all the time!, so go to the guestbook!
Got this a few weeks ago!.....
Dear Sir,
Your boards look absolutely wonderful. Thank you so much for providing such an economical and technologically superior product!
It's nice to hear from satisfied customers, and some send PIX! See the new page of customer PIX, should be working, if not, send me a line! Or a shot of your circuit, project, etc, If possible.....some labs are camera shy, as I well know.
ALSO see the WHITE colored Links below for DOWN Loading the jpg/bmp files to draw out your circuit layouts in pencil. Copy them and print it in a light grey scale format to lighten it up some.
This should help the layouts go a little smoother. A LOT Easier to erase, than desolder! Use the Proto-Chip n' DIP one for Proto-Chip.
The NEW and IMPROVED Proto-Chip n' DIP 2 is HERE, and on SALE?! MORE T/SSOP style IC footprints, having 6 different pitch sizes, added micro-pads, more DIP holes!
MANY possibilities with adding other parts like connectors, multiple IC's on each pitch size!
Experiment! Improvise, Adapt, Overcome, Cut, Hack, Solder! They are protoboards, so treat them like what they are! WHEN YOU ABSOLUTELY, POSITIVELY, HAVE TO HAVE IT BUILT RIGHT THE FIRST TIME - PROTO-CHIP IS THE ANSWER! The BEST SMD Prototyping Breadboard's!
