I'm curious as to why you call the package "DIL" instead of "DIP". I've never heard them called "DIL" before.

- lintuxvi 7y agoThey're interchangeable depending on what literature you read. Funnily enough, like ATM machine, DIP package can be redundant, being equivalent to "dual in-line package package".
