levon Posted April 16, 2009 Posted April 16, 2009 Im working on a touch screen midibox using the nintendo DS x/y pad. and using the Touchscreen connector. which is ment for Surface mounting.I've tried soldering wires to the pins, but they are too close together. What I need is a small PCB the connector can be soldered to, that connect to 4 SIL Pins. but i have no idea how i could make this... would etching be precise enough for the surface mount component?anyone have any other ideas?
Blixman Posted April 16, 2009 Posted April 16, 2009 Hello,maybe you could use something like this and cut it down to the size you need:TSSOP-SMD Multiadapter @ Reichelt...but i see it's a little bit expensive. Otherwise try to find a PCB with nearly the same pitch from a broken radio, laptop, etc... blix
levon Posted April 16, 2009 Author Posted April 16, 2009 I found them cheaply... http://www.futurlec.com/SMD_Adapters.shtml The 8 pin one should do the trick, i can just cut it in half.And YES i will add it to the wiki when i document my project, after its done. :)
Blixman Posted April 16, 2009 Posted April 16, 2009 ...but remind: beware of the right pitch...isn't the "8pinpitchthing" a little bit too much away from 0.5mm?blix
levon Posted April 17, 2009 Author Posted April 17, 2009 doh, your right... why are there so many different specs!*starts the hunt again*
Blixman Posted April 17, 2009 Posted April 17, 2009 You can use the "64 pin LQFP Adapter" on the Futurelec site. There's the needed pitch i think.blix
