#177001 - why not DIP? Responding to: ???'s previous message |
Erik: "GET WITH THE PROGRAM and abandon DIP there is no excuse for using DIP in commercial products any more."
Erik, what if one is not looking for an excuse? What if one simply wants to use a DIP package. Until they become impossible to purchase there is nothing at all wrong with them, (except that they are not the "latest thing"). You mention cost. I think many components are cheaper in SMT packages but not all. (What if the design is not cost-sensitive?) Not every thing in electronics is manufactured in the thousands. |
