Prototyping boards support
large QFP devices
SchmartBoard will release three new boards for large QFP (quad flatpack) devices at the upcoming Electronics West Show in Anaheim, California on 14th February 2007
SchmartBoard-ez prototyping boards allow virtually anyone to hand solder surface mount components easily, quickly and flawlessly. Prior to the development of this technology in late 2005, few people had the dexterity to hand solder surface mount components with small pitches such as.8mm or smaller.

The advent of SchmartBoards allowed people to hand solder components with up to 100 pins, which previously was inconceivable to most engineers, students and hobbyists.
Based on demand from experienced users, SchmartBoard has launched several new boards with the ability to support larger and more complicated components.
'People who a couple years ago would not be able to hand solder some small components with 8 pins, are now asking for us to support up to 256 pins', said Neal Greenberg, Vice President of Marketing at SchmartBoard.
'There are many components that are this large for microprocessors, FPGAs and other advanced ICs'.
Three new SchmartBoards will now support these large QFP package components.
The only other prototyping options today for large surface mount components require expensive sockets.
The three new boards have been specially created for QFP components and are available at the following specs: 0.8mm pitch with 120-144 pins, 0.65mm pitch with 112-160 pins, and 0.5mm pitch with 128-240 pins.
