Have a quick look at this part:

My project needs a 5v and a 3.3v output from a 9v battery. So naturally, to a novice like myself, this made me overjoyed with happiness.
It looks to me like you simply attach the 9v + and - to the bottom IN+ and GND ports. Then you attach the 5v + output to the solder point on the back of the board marked 5v and then to the common GND port at the bottom of the IC. Same for the 3.3v.
The board is so tiny that attempting to solder my 30 Gague wire up was about impossible as the wire was almost wider than the solder ports.
Once I got finished hooking everything up as I explained above, my output readings were wrong, 2v instead of 5v and so on.
At the top of the IC it shows you can cut something off, but I don't know why you would need to.
My question is, is this chip not meant to be soldered normally? is it meant to plug into something maybe? If so what do I ask for so I can buy the thing that you push this card into?
The entire IC is about the size of your fingernail.
I have 4 more as they come in a 5pack, so hopefully, I can get some use out of them in some way.
As always - thanks for your input.
