Sidebraze Package

The Sidebraze package is a rectangular ceramic multilayer package that has leads extending from both of its longer sides, thus forming two sets of in-line pins. It is therefore a type of dual-in-line package (DIP). Sidebraze packages have a single ceramic body with a cavity on top where the chip is placed and bonded. The Sidebraze package is hermetically sealed with a metal cap to keep out moisture and contaminants. Sidebraze package lead counts range from 8 to 64 with typical body widths of either 300 or 600 mils. However, 400 and 900-mil body widths do exist. Sidebraze packages typically have a lead pitch of 100 mils.
