Terri,
I know what your talking about when you say it's very tedious to wire 100's
of wires from parts to boards, we do thousands a year for our customers. I
haven't seen an adapter to accomplish your particular application and if
there is one, I bet it would be expensive.
One option, not much less expensive, is to have your board house make a
panel of boards with pads for the SOIC on one side and the pads for the
TSSOP on the other with via interconnects. You could then mount the parts
on the panel, reflow them, bump the pads on the opposite side of the panel
and once routed, place this part into the paste for reflow. This type of
mod is more cost effective when you have larger quantities, so just a
suggestion.

Subject: [TN] TSSOP to SOIC Adapter for 8-pin devices
Hi folks,
We have some boards with an 8-pin TSSOP footprint for a part that is
actually an 8-pin SOIC.
I was wondering if anyone knows of a socket or adapter that we could use to
translate from a too-big part to a too-little footprint.
We've soldered jumper wires on one board, but with about 100 wrong-size
locations to assemble, I was looking for a less tedious method.
Appreciate any help you can offer. (By the way, we didn't design the
boards.)
Terri
