What is DIP (dual inline package)?

By Dinesh Thakur

DIP is an acronym that stands for dual inline package and refers to the physical layout of most computer chips. The standard chip looks like a bug, or a little rectangular box with legs. Those two rows of metal legs are the “pins” that connect the chip to the computer’s circuits. The whole chip is referred to as a “package,” and it’s a dual inline package because the pins are lined up in two rows.
