Surface Mount Technology (SMT) is ubiquitous these days with many interesting chips and modules available only in these packages. This has generated a need for breakout boards (BoBs) to enable engineers and builders to evaluate and experiment with these components. The L-board presented here is a way to reduce the breadboard space needed for breakout modules.Normally breakout boards fan the tiny SMT contacts out to the common and more human-scale 2.54 mm (0.1”) pitch used in pinheaders and breadboards.
