    Op-Amp Adaptor Module - Single SMD to Dual DIL

    Description:

    Some op-amps (such as the AD825, OPA627) are not available in dual packages. This adapter allows two single SO-8 op-amps to be integrated into a standard dual pinout in an 8-pin DIP footprint and is particularly popular in high-end audio applications.

    The board has two op-amp positions, marked IC1 and IC2, so each channel gets its own op-amp. Solder two single SO-8 op-amps to the board, then plug the finished module into a standard dual op-amp DIP-8 socket.

    Features:

    • 11.43mm x 11.43mm x 1.22mm (0.450" x 0.450" x 0.048") adapter board (base), FR-4 laminate, 1 oz. copper.
    • Low loss traces: 12 mil minimum trace width, 25 mil wide power and output traces.
    • Base adapter pin options: 0.018" diameter solder tail pins installed.
    • Pins on 0.1" grid pattern.
    • Compatibility with legacy devices.
    • Superior electrical and thermal isolation between channels vs. integrated dual op-amp.
    • Great for high-performance audio applications, prototyping and evaluation.
    • Note: appearance and style / colour may vary.

    Typical Uses:

    • Using high-performance single op-amps in equipment designed for a dual DIP-8 op-amp.
    • Op-amp rolling in audio equipment such as DACs, CD players, preamplifiers and headphone amplifiers.
    • Using a different op-amp type in each channel, because the two positions are separate.
    • Prototyping and evaluating single op-amps in a dual DIP-8 socket.

    Popular Op-Amps to Use (SO-8 Singles) - check compatibility before ordered as different parts come in different variation and pin-outs:

    • OPA627: Low noise JFET-input op-amp, popular in high-end audio.
    • OPA827: JFET-input op-amp, a newer alternative to the OPA627.
    • AD825: Fast JFET-input op-amp.
    • OPA134: FET-input audio op-amp.
    • OPA1611: Low noise bipolar audio op-amp.
    • LME49710: Low noise bipolar audio op-amp.

    Always choose the SO-8 (SOIC-8) version of the part and check the datasheet against your equipment, particularly the supply voltage and whether the circuit is stable with that op-amp. Op-amps are not included.

    Before You Order:

    • This is an adapter board only. Op-amps are not included.
    • You will need to solder two SO-8 op-amps to the board, which requires some skill with surface mount parts.
    • Both op-amps should use the standard SO-8 single op-amp pinout.
    • The board is 11.43mm square, which is wider than a standard DIP-8 package, so check there is room around and above your socket.

    Installation Tips and Warnings:

    • Only use this adapter in a socket made for a dual op-amp. Plugging it into a single op-amp socket can damage the op-amps.
    • Check the orientation before powering up. Pin 1 of the adapter must match pin 1 of the socket, because inserting it backwards can damage the op-amps.
    • Take care with pin 1 of each op-amp when soldering it to the board.
    • Use anti-static precautions and an IC extraction tool when installing and removing op-amps.
    • A machined (turned pin) socket is recommended for the most secure fit with the round 0.018" pins.
