What are my options for packaging a WLCSP IC as a DIP?
Hypothetically, let's say I have a chip in a super small WLCSP or BGA package that I want to have packaged as a plastic or ceramic DIP. No extra components; just the pads brought out to pins.
Are ...

Why are 40 pin and above DIP packages generally wider than 28 pin and below
Take for example this datasheet for a Microchip PIC, the 40 pin package has a width of between 0.485 - 0.580 inches, while the 28 pin variant is between 0.24 - 0.295 inches. I have noticed this is the ...

Why do single op-amp DIP packages have 8 pins, rather than 6?
Single op-amps often come in 8-pin DIP packages, with 5 of those pins being standardized (or maybe it's just de-facto) like in the ones below.
(source: linear.com)
Older op-amps such as the LM741 (...

Why are 10-pin DIP integrated circuits so uncommon?
This is a tangential thought from this answer, specifically the line "There are 10 and 12 pin DIPs".
After some searching around, I finally located only one 10-pin DIP part: NTE1450, 5 Watt audio ...

Why aren't components in DIP package shipped with straight pins?
I've noticed that all DIP packaged devices have pins which are at an angle other than \$90^{\circ}\$ and need to be bent so that the angle is right for insertion into holes on the PCB or wherever.
