Solder Column Adapters
Ironwood Electronics offers solder column adapters as a solution for leaded SMT packages such as QFP, PLCC, SOIC, SSOP, and TSOP. This is an excellent choice when you have a PC board in production that needs
 an upgrade or you need to replace an obsolete part. The solder column adapter provides a fast, highly reliable connection at a fraction of the cost of competing designs. This makes it an excellent choice for either prototype or production quantities.
The solder column adapter efficiently adapts one footprint to another footprint in a low-profile, compact design. The solder column adapter mounts directly to the SMT pads with a footprint no larger than the actual target land pattern. They are available with a 1:1 connection or a custom net list. Our state of the art design and manufacturing capabilities allow us to replace and upgrade the functions in legacy IC's. Parts can be manufactured as RoHS or non-RoHS compliant depending on your application. Solder Column Interface Soldering Techniques
Device Converters
When availability or performance of a given IC becomes an issue, an Ironwood device converter allows the use of a substitute device without requiring redesign of the target system. Package type, package code, even pin outs can be changed with an adapter that fits in the original package space. We offer a number of standard device converter parts, however, device converters are typically developed to your unique specs. Ironwood Electronics is the industry leader in developing custom solutions. Our custom engineering staff is the strongest and most experienced in our industry. Quick turn design and manufacturing is a hallmark of our service to customers.
Fix Adapters
Fix adapters solve design or layout problems, often by modifing pin out, package code
characteristics and/or package type. They may incorporate corrective circuitry. These adapters
are generally custom solutions, however, we offer some
fix adapters
as standard products in our catalog.
Package Converters
Package converters provide an electrical and mechanical conversion from one package type to
another. We use gold plated interconnects for our pin and through hole converters.
We offer products for each of the following package conversions. The part families are listed in
"top interface to bottom interface" order. Follow the links to the
on-line catalog's part selection. Be sure to check a part's drawing after selecting one.
