Bought these in case I ever need them and recently did: used one with a VSSOP package TMP275 temp sensor. Well worth the price. Since they are out of stock here, try their GitHub repo: https://github.com/SmallRoomLabs/NanoUtils

Excellent adapters

I bought a set of these adapters and found their quality excellent. Unfortunately I haven't had the chance to actually use them properly as it turned out the chips I wanted to play with are MSOP chips (0.5mm pitch) and these are TSSOP (0.65mm pitch).

Useful little tools

Very useful for designing PCBs when you have the components. I wish I had these before I made my last set of boards which came back with header holes a tad too small as they round *down* the drill size and I didn't notice that until too late.

Usefull Adapters

The quality of the adapters are really good.

I used all of them and I wish I had more of these adapters. Hope you can provide some soon.

It is not worth doing these adapters myself anymore. Thank you very much...

Quality product

For Button2 for Breadboards

They arrived quickly, they were packed well, and look like they're built well. I haven't had a chance to use them yet, but they'll certainly make things more convenient.

Very good value for money

Perfect for prototyping and a very good value for the price. Quality is completely adequate for the purpose. Only thing I would change is that I'd prefer pin header holes to be smaller so that the headers fit more snugly, but that's personal preference I guess :-). In the end I'm completely satisfied :-)

WooHoo! Blinky Lights!

For SMD Training Skull KIT

I've never tried to solder any of the little, teeny, tiny, itsy, bitsy, SMD components. Since I have a decent soldering station and a Magna Visor, I thought what the heck, I'll give it a try. Bought four of these, the first one I assembled no worky. I'm pretty sure I cooked a transistor screwing around trying to get it soldered down. The next three went together just fine, what fun! Just in time for Halloween! Great practice kit, I'm not intimidated by those little flea sized components anymore.

Thanks!

SMD Adapters - Set #1

Skrajny wypas !. Bardzo dobra jakość, szybka przesyłka. Rewelacyjna cena. W Polsce nie udało mi się takich kupić. SUPER !!

Fast shipping. PCB high quality. A very good buy.
Thank you.

Useful Adaptors, Value for Money, Highly Recommended

I ordered these for a specific project but stocked up on a few spares (3 sets). They are nicely made and useful, provided complete with pin headers and are made using a thinner that usual PCB which is nice. The white solder mask means you cannot easily see the tracking and that meant I needed to double-check connections with a meter which was no big deal. Really good value for money these adaptors, highly recommended.

Jose Luis | Sept. 23, 2013

Great product

These are really useful and the quality is quite good. I guess there are other smd footprints but, for me, these are more than enough for 90% of my projects. Also, the service was really good. I would recommend buying these to anyone.

Martin | Sept. 15, 2013

Clarification needed in instructions

Depending on what text you read on the PCB, green power LED can be missplaced with a red one. (When in a hurry and do not have time to think for your self).

Make that tiny little instruction paper larger and include schematics.

Good value. Will save time and space on breadboard.

Great little reference boards!

Excellent reference boards! They come with most relevant drill holes used on a PCB. Specially handy when you need to layout holes for components with not very common pin sizes. It would be even great if these two boards could come together on a single board.
Very fast delivery too!

Gilberto M. | Sept. 14, 2013

Excellent set of SMD adapters

Very useful l set of adapters. I was doing manually my own adapters from veroboads/prototype boards. These save me hours of work! Everything I would like to say is already mentioned in the other reviews! I hope there are other sets on the way =). Great job!

Nick | Sept. 12, 2013

Helpful

Found useful for sizing up several different components when designing for them or just drilling holes in prototyping board.
A very useful tool. Beats lining the component up with a drill bit and going "looks about right". You can actually see if it's going to fit!

Michael | Aug. 25, 2013

Good choice!

Board quality is good, love the white color, pre-tinned which helps when reflowing or hand soldering. Clever addition of passive SMD pads on the bigger boards including pads for LED--that's cool. Glad I got these. The 6-pin dual transistor / 6-pin IC board is especially clever. They've helped me with a SOIC8 EEPROM so far, and no doubt I'll use them for more stuff. Suggest moving the pin1 indicator on the SOIC-8 to be a little more visible. It's fine but just a thought. All the other pin-1 indicators are good. Overall, very pleased and would recommend to others without hesitation.

Such a simple idea I wish it was mine

For Button2 for Breadboards

This may not be the most heavily engineered product, but it is one of those very simple ideas that once you see it you wonder how you managed without it. This simple product solves all of the issues with using tactile buttons with a breadboard (popping out, breaking and bent leads etc.). It will pay for itself in saved time and frustration.

Great little time saver

For OLEDY - Multiple pitch "oled" breakouts

Have you ever needed a button and an led on your breadboard? Well this is what everyone should have on there breadboard. A must have item. #5340 Review Image

OLEDY - Multiple pitch "oled" breakouts

Excellent quality, easy to solder to, and you get two for the price of one. Review Image

Logan | Aug. 16, 2013

Very handy tool to have on the bench

These pin size gauges are very handy to have on your workbench to double check component lead/pin sizes before sending off your PCB design for manufacture. I have only made a drill size error once, but that was enough to have to scrap the board run and re-spin the boards.

The lesson: Datasheets are not always correct and it is essential to physically check things! Simple tools like these can save time and money!

So thanks for coming up with these, and thanks for getting my order (#5922) out so fast :)

Useful little board

I've been playing with the ATTiny13 in a breadboard for a little while. The BBPrince makes this play easier by providing a few handy functions that I'd otherwise build myself on the breadboard.

Quick, simple little project, even for someone with medium soldering skills.

The only problem I had was that the power indicator LED was far too bright. I replaced the 330 Ohm R1 resistor with a 10k Ohm, to make the LED bright enough to easily see, and plenty.

Response from SmallRoomLabs | Aug. 20, 2013

Thank you for the review and the "In Action" picture!

The first few boards were sent with clear hi-brightness leds which was far too bright to be comfortable. I've since then changed the kits to include medium bright diffused leds that are much better suited for this.

Joost | Aug. 12, 2013

great

These look great and will surely save me quite some time!

USB-Mini breakout board

For USB-micro breakout

Top quality. Beautiful little board with the Mini connector overhanging the edge the correct amount. Highly recommend.

Joseph | July 24, 2013

Wire gauge

Handier than using a drill gauge, but it is so small that I keep loosing it in my parts bin.

Trevor | July 15, 2013

Great breadboard time and space saver

This is a great breadboard widget which saves both time and space when setting up PICs on breadboards! The PCB is of the usual high standard from Small Room Labs. 10 out of 10!

Trevor | July 13, 2013

Incredibly useful

For USB-mini breakout

Incredibly useful bread boarding accessory which uses nearly 50% less space than my existing perf board version. Priced very economically too!

Trevor | July 5, 2013

Perfect!

Great quality, great price, great postage, quick delivery. Did I say these were great? :-)
Thanks!

Christian | July 2, 2013

Awesome

For USB-mini breakout

These boards are awesome because of the double row header which allows me to easily sniff on the data lines with my logic analyzer while having the board directly connected to a processor board. I ordered both mini and micro versions.
Having some Mini/Micro to USB A adapters allows these board to be used as Host/Device and OTG depending on particular needs.

Phil | July 2, 2013

Great connections

These are excellent! Very well thought out and very useful. The price is great too. Will be buying more when I need to.

Jose | June 29, 2013

So useful!

Excellent set of SMD adapters with the oh so useful extra pads, for an unbeatable price.

Just wish it there was a bigger set with more options like 18 and 20 pin. Hope you'll consider it.

The order (5207) was delivered in 4 days by regular post to the UK, unbelievably quick!

Emil | June 18, 2013

Looks very useful for board-making

I got this since it seemed very useful and unique. I don't make boards, but I would like to start and this seems like one of those super-simple tools that still can remove some uncertainty and just make life a little bit easier.

I've only used it to quickly check the pin headers that was included in the order (for SMD adapters that I also bought from the same seller) and that was easy enough.

You can wear a sizer board as a pendant around your neck too, not that I would do such a geeky thing, of course.

The order arrived to Sweden in 9 days, with hand-written note from the seller included, which I thought was a very nice touch. That the note was in Swedish was of course even nicer. :)

Michael | June 10, 2013

Simple yet useful

This is a simple idea, which proves to be very useful when checking component leg sizes for 'wiggle room'.

Raj | June 2, 2013

Simple and helpful

A simple and very useful tool while designing PCBs.
