DIP, SIP, TO, and other through-hole package reference
Through-hole components are ideal for prototyping, educational projects, and applications requiring mechanical strength. DIP packages fit standard breadboards and IC sockets. TO packages provide excellent thermal performance with heatsinks. While SMD dominates production, through-hole remains relevant for power components, connectors, and hobbyist projects.
