SOIC Problem

[Antar Bolaeisk]

Hello all,

I was wondering if anyone could help me. I accidentally purchased a chip not realising it came in the SOIC form and not the DIP form as I had assumed (no comment ). I was just wondering if there were any sockets for the SOIC form, much like the ones available for the DIP form, which would make it easier to work with (preferably something which would plug into a breadboard) as I don't really have the equipment for working on such a small scale.

Thanks in advance,
Antar.

You can obtain adapters, but you'd still need to solder the small chip onto that in most cases:
