well the only 566's i can find are online at ebay and they are the metal can versions. now i know there has been talk of a 566 pcb. will these work with this? or will they fit properly in any other TH designs?

thanks

Yes they will do fine. The metal tab is pin 8 and viewed from above, the pins count down clockwise, just like a regular DIP-8.

Dave Brown did a VERY nice job with a 566 can...

I don't really have room to include both footprints on the 566 VCO board, but it looks like a little careful bending and forming does the trick.

I would agree that the 566 really shouldn't be used in a "new" design, but the UD-1 is a good use for a 566 if you have one. Of course, I think the 566 VCO is another good use, but I'm biased Wink

Tim,

Any idea when the next run of 566 VCO boards will be in?

You just bend the leads a bit to fit the hole pattern, then just press it down. The leads conform quite nicely.

The frequency coefficient on the LM566 is different from the NE566 but everything adjusted just fine.
