I want to use one of these MOSFETS but can't find the Si4599. I understand the AO4606 is a drop in replacement but it looks like it's one of those tiny surface mount devices. Anyone have experience with these devices? And if I want to mount an SMD on a standard 2.54mm board, how do you solder it if the pins don't go through?

@zander Those of us of advancing age haven't go a hope of soldering those piddly little things, you need to get a board that has them already mounted. Heres a link:

How about

if you're not in a rush.
Or
google Amazon for "smd to dip soic-8" if you'd like to do it yourself (a lot faster).

Oh, so that's the way it is, eh 🙂
Well, I gave him TWO sources and one of them can deliver by Wednesday ! Yours will take weeks 🙂
Mind you, he WILL have to do his own soldering with the conversion chips 🙂

@byron Thanks, that's what I was looking for but my search only returned one hit showing no longer available. Order going in now.

@will I ordered them from AliExpress (3rd order today). My project will just have to wait.

@will Nope, no soldering, I will wait. My air gun is dead, one of these days I might have to figure out what is wrong.

@zander Not to worry, I just sent my teeth out for cleaning and re-filing 🙂

You can still solder with an iron, especially if you're only doing SMDs with legs that stick out from the body.

@will Too late. Besides, my board room is limited and they would occupy more space. I can put this project on hold and do something else in the meanwhile.
