Adapters confusion

Marcin_Sz.

Hi,I got tired of searching for information in programmers and adapters. There's nothing on the webpage or really anywhere on the Internet.
I have TL866 II plus and handful of adapters:
https://imageupload.io/i/3i0nalbfZE
I need to upgrade to T56.
There is no list of adapters for TL866.
There is no list of adapters for T56.
There is no map for adapters, that would tell which adapter works directly with programmer, which require intermediate adapter and what kind of it.
I have adapters but I don't know which one will work with T56 and whether there are better options that will connect some ICs better, i.e. with smaller number of adapters.
I honestly have no idea, which adapters should I sell together with old programmer and which to buy.
Actually, I don't even know what is available for T56.
Why there's no comprehensive list of accessories? :(

Marcin_Sz.

Thank you!
I will try to sort it out that way.
It still bugs me. Manufacturer should take care of product portfolio, so customers would know what they can actually buy.
XGecu representatives, are you here?

Marcin_Sz.

I was going through software menu, setting chips in various packages and view required adapters.
** PLCC28-DIP24-ADP-048

That one I have but software asks for PLCC28-DIP28, which seems not to exist ;)


XGecu should really sort it out and put in on the webpage, I'm using a lot of time to check what I don't need anymore and what I should buy instead.


Anyway, I think I'll sort it out finally, thank you again!

@admin,

actually, I think there is a need for making a short sub-page that explains and shows in photos, which adapters go for older and newer model.

Please take a look.


There are a lot of adapters, some have part number, like ADP-005. Some have a designation only, like SOP8-16 -> DIP16.


Example 1:
ADP-005 vs ADP-006
both are PLCC32, one is DIP32 and looks like it doesn't have 1:1 pin correspondence.
Second one is DIP28 and it's only for 27C series IC.
From what I understand, ADP-006 is not needed for T56 programmer as 27C series are handled by a simple adapter.
Does ADP-005 work? I don't know, as it's not pin1-pin1 adapter.
I have to check on aliexpress or in programmer GUI.


Example 2:
I have 6 SOP/SO/SOIC adapters and SSOP8. Now I have to somehow verify whether they are still valid and they don't have ANY names or part numbers to identify.



Example 3:
I have a set of TSOP/SOP adapters with intermediate boards separate for NAND, 8 and 16 bits TSOP40, for TSOP32 etc.
From what I understand, absolutely none on these intermediate boards will be needed (SN001-*). But that's just my assumption that all chips supported on those intermediate boards will now interface programmer directly via 56pin test socket.


Really, a simple designation map would be great here.
Something like
--
TL866 support list
(...)
TSOP48 / NAND: NAND08 + SN003
--
T56 support list
(...)

TSOP48 / ALL: SN-ADP-056-0.5


Or the other way around, i.e.
T56:
SN-ADP-056-0.5 supports: [packages]
--
TL866*:
NAND08: a base to mount following adapters: [SN001-5(TSOP32/40/48 solder), SN003(test socket TSOP48), ...]
(...)
SN001-5: solder base for TSOP32, TSOP40, TSOP48.


With such a list, customer could simply search (ctrl+F / grep) through list and see what adapter or combination is needed to connect specific packages and IC types to programmer.
It would also solve my problem, where I have TL866ii+ and I don't know which adapters should I keep.
I will spend a lot of time figuring it out :(




[ EDIT ]
** PLCC28-DIP24-ADP-048 (no use for T56)
** PLCC32-DIP28-ADP006 (no use for T56)

How do I connect PLCC28 and PLCC32 to T56 programmer?

I guess that
PLCC32 to DIP32
PLCC20 to DIP20
are OK for T56?

Hi,I now temporarily have both, TL866II plus and T56.
My understanding is as follow.

These adapters will work with T56:
PLCC20-DIP20
PLCC32-DIP32
SOP28-DIP28
SOP20-DIP20
SOP20(8pin)-DIP8
SOP16(8pin)-DIP8
SSOP28(8pin)-DIP8
+all soldered adapters

These adapter will not really work with T56 or it's pointless:
PLCC44-DIP40
PLCC28-DIP24
PLCC32-DIP28
SOP44 and TSOP48 together with SN001-* intermediate boards

These adapters are for T56:
PLCC32-DIP32
PLCC44-DIP44
SOP44-DIP44
TSOP56-DIP48+cable

If I understand correctly, this adapter is the only one missing:
PLCC28-DIP28

When can we expect new adapters?
