Breadboarding a circuit with SMD components is made easy with generic SMD breakout/adapter boards that are widely available. Solder your SMD component and some standard 2.54mm (0.1") pin headers and they plug straight into a breadboard so you can wire up your circuit.

Mouser offers inventory, pricing, & datasheets for Surface Mount PCBs & Breadboards.

To use SMD components on breadboards, simply use 0.1" spaced male headers, cut a piece of two pins, and solder the SMD component in between the two pins on the shorter end of the header. This works well with 0603 and 0805 sized components, as shown in the pictures.

How do I build breadboards with tiny surface mount (SM) ICs? Answer: Very carefully – with a printed circuit board (PCB) IC carrier, a solder-well tip to your soldering iron, plenty of flux and a powerful magnifier.

Makes it easy to realize a SMD based circuit, or a mixed SMD and DIP circuit, breadboard style. The board shows a multitude of square, solder-stable, gold-plated pads, which are optimally dimensioned for the use of SMD types 0603, 0805, 1206/1210 as well.

Building breadboards to work with tiny little surface-mount ICs. The Solution. Small PC boards which hold SMDs and have pads (at 0.1” [2.54 mm] spacing) which are large enough to mount larger wired components. The boards, some of which can also carry DIL ICs, (usually) have provision for supply decoupling and can
