I sent you a reply misterD
TheLizinator: The link I provided above brings you directly to a board that this chip will mount to (hope you have steady hands, a small tip on your iron, a magnifying glass and some solder wick). These chips are pretty quick to solder with the right equipment and just as quick to bridge the leads with one false move
(there in lies the need for the wick).
You can get different configuations of pins alread soldered to the board for a buck that will match you right up to the strip boards 0.1" pitch. I believe they also come with a set of pins - unsoldered - L, Board to board and straight - if you haven't made up your mind as to how you will attach it to the strip board.
Of course, you can always burn your own board which you may find to your advantage. But then you need........... jesh, I won't go there, at least not tonight.
Good luck and happy modding
PS: You might ask for the spec sheet from Mark on the chip (I didn't see a link on his sight for it). It will give you a measured drawing of the footprint for this chip. Compare that to to the drawing provided for the board. The reason I say this is that, for one, I haven't used this chip and for 2 -- although it is a D2Pak - it look a bit "stumpier" than the Dpaks I've used. IE the grounding plane on the board may be more than needed. I guess, if you need room you can always cut/file/grind any excess off......
