The PDIP package is a relatively robust package that is resistant to contamination. However, it is much larger than the miniaturized CSP packages. The PDIP is available in two standard widths of 6.6 mm and 13.5 mm. The package length depends on the number of connections and ranges from 9.3 mm (8), 22.8 mm (10), 29.9 mm (16) and 37.4 mm (22, 24, 28). Furthermore, the DIP package is available in a ceramic version as PDIP and with a smaller pitch as SDIP (shrink).
