<< Hi there.
 Is there a long list somewhere that defines exactly what all the
 component package names mean (including different
 standards variations on the names for the same component package)???
 I.E.
  SOP & SOPIC are the same ain't they?
 What is the difference between an SOIC and SSOIC
 and all that.

 I'm not after answers on just the examples, what I want is a
 downloadable list/articles on as many as I can get.

 Now that we have to provide this information for the assembly dept to
 input into off-line P&P programming software
 (instead of them manually teaching on the machines) it means I gotta get
 some more details.

 Can anyone help? >>
