connecting RF module to breadboard

Wireless & IoT
1

i’d like to order an RF module (link below), but it doesn’t come in DIP packaging or have hole pins which can be used with headers to connect to a breadboard… is there any sort of adapter that can take these types of pins and allow me to connect it to a breadboard?

You’ll need to get a PCB made.

Those side-facet pads look pretty big, and sorta like they’re 0.1in. You might be able to solder pin headers right to em, and then put that directly into a protoboard. Then put pin headers into the protoboard to go to your breadboard. [The reason for the two step process is that those little pads don’t look like they could take much torque].

I have some “mainboards” for board with these SMT pads. The mainboards have V-shaped spring-wire connectors so you can insert/remove the module. Intended for prototypes, not sturdy enough for field use.

Here’s an example

This mainboard (motherboard) uses that company’s 802.15.4 modules which have that SMT style connector.

I suppose you can dig and dig and find out what vendor makes those spring connectors.
