Re: Suface Mount Prototyping

Hi Everyone,

I purchased the following Honeywell chipset:

...and wanted to prototype a circuit using these chips. I wasn't
expecting these chips to be so small. Geez, I can barely even see the
pins on the HMC1052 :) . I guess I was thinking for some kookie reason
that I could plug these directly into my breadboard...Oh well....

Obviously, there's no way for me to directly mount these chip on my
board (i'm using the Parallax NX-1000).

Does anyone have any suggestions as to how I might be able to use
these? Keep in mind that I am very new to electronics and not an
expert solderer. I was hoping that someone might be able to let me
know if there's some sort of host socket (or something) I can use so
that I can work with these chips on my breardboard.

Any ideas will be greatly appreciated!

Thanks!!

On a breadboard,glue it upside down,
and solder with wirewrap wire.
