RobG 1,892 Posted February 26, 2012 Share Posted February 26, 2012 Wiki Link Store Link I often find myself needing some type of SMD proto board, so I decided to take my original ProtoPad (which was never produced) and turn it into SMD proto board.Here's the first version with most of the things I might need.There's still some room left, any suggestions?Specs:40-pin SOIC (0.1" to 0.6" width) or 40-pin 0.65 pitch TSSOP (0.1" to 0.4" width,) can fit few smaller chips.Four 6-pin SOT-363 or SOT-457, can use for SOT-23, SOT-353, SOT-753, and similar.9 single 0805 components.6 single 3528 components.4 0805 dividers/debouncers (connected between Vcc and GND.)2 two 0805 components in series.4 two 0805 components in series with one end common, for LEDs for example.1 0805 bridge.Several connected solder pads.Most of 0805s are 2 in parallel, one on top and one on the bottom.Some of the supported TSSOP packages:PW (R-PDSO-G**), DA (R-PDSO-G**), DAP (R-PDSO-G**), PWP (R-PDSO-G**), G** is G40 or lessSome of the TSSOPs that are NOT supported:DBT (R-PDSO-G**), DL (R-PDSO-G**), basically none of 0.5 or 0.635 pitch. Some smaller packages should fit, 8-pin for example.Here are some details, from the left: 2 in series, bridge, single, 2 in series with common, dividers. Keep in mind that resistors represent a component, caps, diodes, etc. can be soldered. gwdeveloper, Rickta59 and bluehash 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
bluehash 1,581 Posted February 26, 2012 Share Posted February 26, 2012 Good one Rob. I'm placing an order for the oled boards today. If you want, I can piggy it up with my order, unless your a couple of your orders out. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
RobG 1,892 Posted February 26, 2012 Author Share Posted February 26, 2012 Board is finished, updated image and specs in the first post. @b#, if you are interested, I can send you Gerber files today. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
fatihinanc 14 Posted February 26, 2012 Share Posted February 26, 2012 Thanks RobG. Layout looks good Is it possible to start a group buy ? Best. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
GeekDoc 226 Posted February 27, 2012 Share Posted February 27, 2012 Thanks RobG. Layout looks good Is it possible to start a group buy ? Best. +1 to that. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
RobG 1,892 Posted April 5, 2012 Author Share Posted April 5, 2012 The board in action, really handy to test ideas before making final PCB. Below, working on the prototype of the video overlay board, step 1, sync separator. bluehash 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
bluehash 1,581 Posted April 5, 2012 Share Posted April 5, 2012 No doubt about it, good design. Also Store link. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Robelyn 0 Posted August 21, 2012 Share Posted August 21, 2012 Hi rob, Great work on these proto-boards, I will order some. In the mean time, would you consider creating smaller versions that can be used on any breadboard that could have a single device mounted such as d-pak, SOT-23 or any IC from 8-28 pins? I suppose one could cut a proto-board into smaller units using a scroll saw or band saw. I'm working on a complicated controller board that will have a MSP430 device installed but not using the LaunchPad except for programming. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
RobG 1,892 Posted August 21, 2012 Author Share Posted August 21, 2012 Sure, I was actually thinking about creating something like that. Give me a list of must-haves and I will do it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Robelyn 0 Posted August 22, 2012 Share Posted August 22, 2012 I am looking for D-pak and SOT-23 to DIP adapters. I think you have included some SOT-23 in up to 6 land configuration on your proto board. If you could separate some of the areas into individual items or make the proto board with snap-apart sections would be a big help. whle preparing this reply, I googled DPAK adapters and got a host of sites that offer them. Seems most sites were off-shore. One had about 70 sections with snap-apart pieces for about $50. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Rickta59 589 Posted April 2, 2013 Share Posted April 2, 2013 Is the Eagle file for this available? Thanks, -rick Quote Link to post Share on other sites
