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.)
