14-pin DIP — prototyping and low-volume assembly
This part comes in a 14-DIP (0.300", 7.62mm) through-hole package with a matching 14-PDIP supplier device package. The through-hole format simplifies hand-soldering, socketing, and rework — a practical choice for prototype runs, educational boards, or production volumes where wave soldering is already on the line. The 0.300" row spacing fits standard breadboards and perfboard layouts.
