The packages of popular integrated circuits used in schools and colleges are sometimes called a Dual In-Line Packages. They are also called either DIP packages or DIL packages and two examples are shown opposite. The PICAXE 18 is a DIL package with 18 pins and its smaller relation is the PICAXE 08 with 8 pins. |

The pins of integrated circuits can be delicate and trying to solder each pin to a PCB can be very difficult. It is often a good idea to solder a cheap chip holder to a PCB and then press the integrated circuit package into it. |

The circuit below is based on the PICAXE-18
integrated circuit. Two 19 pin chip holders have been soldered to the
PCB and the 18 pin integrated circuits pressed into them. |
