Hey everyone... I found this really awesome IC i want to try using.... but the only trouble is that it is a quad flatpack package, which of course I can't mount without solder on a breadboard. I was thinking to learn to make my own PCB boards (there are plenty of kits online) but the pins on this IC are 0.2mm wide! O_o (or so I understood from the datasheet - from texas instruments, model TLC5905) Is there anyway I can use this IC, without opening my own factory?! |

This guy makes it look easy. There are lots of good soldering videos on Youtube. Solder it to a board with bigger connectors and you can experiment with it. Also search for QFP DIP adapter and you'll find some sockets that you can just drop it into. |

Did you know that multiple MOSFETs can be used in parallel to switch bigger currents on and off? Learn more...
