SSOP TRANSITION SOCKET
An SSOP transition socket and associated hardware is
shown in Figure 3.
FIGURE 3: SSOP TRANSITION SOCKET
The SSOP transition sockets are similar to the SOIC
transition sockets. There are two parts to the SSOP
transition socket:
1. Adapter socket that connects to the PDIP device
adapter.
2. SSOP header that gets soldered down to the
target application.
The following SSOP transition sockets have been dis-
continued:
• XLT14SS: One adapter socket and three 14-lead
SSOP headers
• XLT20SS: One adapter socket and three 20-lead
SSOP headers
• XLT20SS1: One adapter socket and three 20-lead
SSOP headers
• XLT28SS: One adapter socket and three 28-lead
SSOP headers
• XLT28SS2: One adapter socket and three 28-lead
SSOP headers for PIC16C55/57
See the drawings in this section for layout dimensions
and clearances for tall components.

14-lead SSOP Header
Note: To keep the leads straight during assembly
and shipping, the SSOP headers are
shipped with break-away tabs attached to
the leads. Please remove the break-away
tabs before applying power to the target
system. Be careful not to bend the leads
prior to soldering to the target application.
