Physical properties

The Thin shrink small outline package has a smaller body and smaller lead pitch than the standard SOIC package. It is also smaller and thinner than a TSOP with the same lead count. Body widths are 3.0 mm, 4.4 mm and 6.1 mm. The lead counts range from 8 to 80 pins. The lead pitches are 0.5 or 0.65 mm.


Exposed Pad

Some TSSOP packages have an exposed pad. This is a rectangular metal pad on the bottom side of the package. The
