Custom Search

The Micro Small Outline Package, or micro-SOP or MSOP, is a very small rectangular plastic package with gull wing leads protruding out of its longer sides. The MSOP is a miniaturized version of the SSOP package, having a smaller footprint than the latter.

MSOP lead counts range from 8 to 16. The typical MSOP body width is nominally 3 mm while its body thickness typically ranges from 0.85 mm to 1.1 mm. The MSOP lead pitch is typically either 0.65 mm or 0.50 mm.
