Source for readymade ds2417?

[bbsux]

Has anyone found a source for ready made ds2417 realtime clock modules (on pcb's ready to use I mean)?

It really depends on what do you plan to do with it. It is not hard to solder parts on a prototype board. The key thing is to get the correct crystal. If you want to have battery backup on that circuit, please make sure the regular power if fed through a diode, so that battery does not get damaged or drained.

It is if they are a TSOC surface mount packaged chip. that's the only way the ds2417 is sold!

Although DS2417 only in TSOC package, it could be soldered on the prototype board. Please see how this is done in attached picture.
