Many Dallas Semiconducor's 1-Wire devices come in the 6 pin TSOC SMD package. It is a bit difficult to work with them during the prototyping and testing phase. In course of my project using DS2409P I made a PCB board to mount it. I think it will be handy for mounting other 6/TSOC devices.
Here check out the pictures of the board. You will see that the board takes the leads out of the device and presents them as easy to use connected via holes.
You can take wires out of it as shown in the picture.
The board measures 35mm x 15mm.
I have asked the prototype maker to trim off the borders.

I am looking for suitable clips to avoid soldering the device during prototyping/testing. (I'm not soldering suvvy you know!) Even if you are deft at soldering, the clip might be useful to hold the device while you solder the device on to the board. Using clips instead of soldering mighthelp in the device reuse.

Your comments most welcome. If there is enough interest I will make them available as a product. Let me know how much you will be willing to pay for such a thing.
