Dual Leadless Chip Carrier Package
Dual LCC IC Package
A Dual Leadless Chip Carrier [DLCC] is a surface mount component that contains no pins, but has leads as part of the body. Related to a LCC package
------------------------------------------
Some years ago, maybe 10, I remember reading that some people did not like using this type of package. It seems that as the Printed Wiring Board [PWB] would flex the solder joint between the PWB and the LCC package would crack. However I don't know if that is true any longer, as I haven't used an LCC style IC for a decade. Note; Both the LCC and DLCC packages mount to the PWB in the same fashion. However I believe the LCC package is a four sided square IC while the DLCC package only has leads [pads] on two sides - like a DIP package.
