Hi,

I need to replace a 16-pin SOIC device which is obsolete and unavailable in
the UK, though I have found a 16 pin DIP version I can buy.
Anyone have any experience of the best way to bodge this onto the PCB?

(The device is an SSM2164, used as a compressor on a Mackie SRM450).

Cheers,

Gareth.

Have you tried to contact Mackie directly? I have found them to be
extrememly helpful when looking for parts. See the link below for
contact info in the UK:
