I bought a IC (AD5933), its mounting Style is SMD/SMT.
I would like to do a test with it in the protoboard, however I am confused about the type of adapter.
I want to use an adapter that does not need soldering, like this.
But, I'm not sure exactly the right size for my case (150mil, 300mil, …).
I do not understand if those values (150mil, 300mil) are for height or width.
Can someone help me?

There are lots of different types of SMD part, with many widths (distance between the two rows of pins), many pitches (spacing of adjacent pins), number of pins, etc.
SOIC is a fairly common one. These are usually 0.05" pitch (1.27mm), and come in wither 0.15" or 0.3" widths typically.
Your part however is neither, it is a SSOP-16 package which will not work with that adapter. SSOP packages are a lot more varied. In your case you have a 0.65mm pitch device with a body width of about 5.3mm and a row pitch of 7.8mm.
ZIF to DIP adapters for such parts are available, such as the WELLS CTI 656C1202215-001 (you will likely find cheaper ones on eBay or the like). The key thing before buying one is to verify the pin-to-pin pitch and widths match the adapter by cross-referencing the part datasheet with the adapter specifics.
