I finally bagan to assemble my PIMETA today.
The good news:
The soldering went better than anticipated(much faster and easier than my cmoy, maybe its just practice).
The bad news:
With all the small parts and sockets on the board I opened the package containing my op-amps, only to find that AD8620AR/AD8610AR are SOIC package(ignorance will bite you in the ass every time), and I KNOW, I am NOT up to soldering SOIC parts.
1st multi-part question:
Are the AD8620AR/AD8610AR available in a DIP package(I searched the Ddigi-Key catalog pages until my eyes hurt)?
My other choices are AD843 at about the same price, or OPA627 at more than double the price (both with the additional cost of a BrownDog). Is the OPA627 worth the extra cost?
2nd multi-part question:
How is Digi-Key about exchanges?
or
Is anyone interested in AD8620AR/AD8610AR at a discounted price? Make an offer.
TIA
Have fun
Ken
