| In electronics, a '''chip carrier''' is one of several kinds of packages for ]s. Connections are made on all four edges of a square package.

Chip carriers are smaller than ]s and since they use all four edges of the package can have a larger pin count. Chip carriers may be made of ceramic or plastic. | |||

In electronics, a chip carrier is one of several kinds of packages for integrated circuits. Connections are made on all four edges of a square package. Chip carriers may have either J-shaped metal leads for connections by solder or by a socket, or may be lead-less with metal pads for connections. Chip carriers are smaller than Dual in-line packages and since they use all four edges of the package can have a larger pin count. Chip carriers may be made of ceramic or plastic.
