Better Options than Stacking Sockets?

Stew · 26th February 2006, 10:24 PM

I have a CDP with dual opamps for output buffers and I want to use two single DIP opamps with a single to dual Brown Dog Adapter for each channel. I need to raise the Brown Dog Adapters above the capacitors next to the buffer opamps. I could stack sockets but I'm trying to think of a better approach. Any ideas?

maybe you could move the capacitors?

Put the caps on the other side of the board.

That's a thought. I'll see if there's enough space under the board to move the capacitors. If not, any ideas on longer pins for a brown dog adapter, etc?

Put the adaptor on the other side.
Desolder the pins and let them stick out on the components side. (of the adaptor)
Now you can put the adaptor real close to the pcb
at the bottomside of the pcb

Just a thought

that wont work the chip socket will be in the mirror image position.

Read the suggestion carefully. It will work !

Yes alot of work and servicing would be a nightmare, but it *would* work.

i'd probably extend the pins on the adaptor and solder it straight to the board? probably useing those stirps of metal pins you can get with the plastic insulator half way down.. sometimes used on stuff to raise daughterboards of the main pcb so it will clear components underneath.. I have some in my parts bin that have pins the right size to fit perfectly in an IC socket aswell.. but personally i would solder it to the adaptor and to the CDP's board... Mabey something liek this would work for you?

Why do it that way ? far too much work ..easier to move the caps and set the chip socket in its correct place.
