What is Single In-line Package (SIP)?

There are various types of semiconductor and IC packages, such as Single In-line Package (SIP) and Zig-zag In-line Package (ZIP).

Regarding the "Single In-line Package (SIP)", this article will explain the information below.

Single In-line Package (SIP) Definition

SIP stands for "Single In-line Package".

Single In-line Package (SIP) is a package in which the leads come out of one side of the package, the leads are in a single row, and the package is for insert mounting.

Single In-line Package (SIP) has the leads on the long side of the package and is mounted upright on the PCB. Since the package can be mounted upright, the mounting density of the PCB can be increased compared to the Dual In-line Package (DIP).

Single In-line Package (SIP) has 2 to 23 pins.

The number after SIP indicates the number of pins. For example, SIP10 means a 10-pin SIP.

In addition, the package material, etc., changes depending on the English letter preceding the SIP.

Supplement

A package with leads coming out of one side of the package for insertion mounting is called a Single In-line Package (SIP), and a package with leads coming out of two sides of the package for insertion mounting is called a Dual In-line Package (DIP).
Unlike DIP, SIP has many variations in shape depending on the application, since metal is attached to the package surface for heat dissipation.
A package with leads coming out of one side of the package and aligned in a straight line is called a Single In-line Package (SIP), while a package with leads coming out of one side of the package and alternately bent is called a Zig-zag In-line Package (ZIP).
SIP is used not only in IC but also in network resistors and transistor arrays that require heat dissipation.
SIP is sometimes described as SIL.

Types of Single In-line Package (SIP)

HSIP

The "H" in front of SIP stands for "with heat sink".

Therefore, "HSIP" means a "SIP with heat sink".

P-SIP

The "P-" in front of SIP stands for "plastic".

Therefore, "Plastic SIP (P-SIP)" means a "SIP whose package material is plastic".
