Component packages explained

Hello!

So i thought it would be a good idea to write up a post about what the different packages mean and what they look like and such, so if you have ever wondered what BGA or SIOC or PDIP is, check it out!

Nice job and thanks for the links!

no problem! There will be another coming out later today about SMD packages

Hey thanks a lot very helpful to me its funny how they teach you how to design these ICs but not what they are called :s
