	[[Image:DIP_package.jpg\|right\|thumb\|A DIP-14]] Integrated circuits come in different '''packages'''. The package refers to the type of exterior casing that the connects the actual integrated circuit chip to its input and output pins. A common type of package is the ''Dual-In-Line Package'', or DIP. This package contains a rectangular box with two rows of pins coming out of the long edge. The number ~~the~~ succeeds "DIP" denotes the number of pins in package. The package often has an indentation or dot at one end to help identify the pins.		[[Image:DIP_package.jpg\|right\|thumb\|A DIP-14]] Integrated circuits come in different '''packages'''.
