image thumb 2 1

Integrated circuit packages, the form an IC is manufactured in, are as wide and varied as a Donald Trump “alternative truth”.  Below is the big list of integrated circuit (IC) package types including the package name, package full (official) name, remarks and notes, and a picture of diagram of the electronic package.

Through-hole packages

Through-hole IC packages have leads which can be soldered onto a PCB or inserted into a breadboard slot.
