MSOP-10

Package: MSOP-10_3x3mm_P0.5mm Library: Package_SO Category: IC Package Pads: 10 Pitch: 0.5mm Body Size: 3.0 x 3.0mm Mounting: Surface Mount

Description

The MSOP-10 (also called USOP or µSOP) is a 10-pin miniature IC package at just 3 x 3mm with 0.5mm pitch. Roughly one-third the area of an SOIC-8, it enables significant board space savings for ICs that need more than 8 pins. Commonly houses precision ADCs (ADS1015), DACs (MCP4728), temperature sensors (TMP117), accelerometers, and multi-channel voltage supervisors. The tiny pitch requires paste stencils for reliable soldering.

Usage Notes

  • Designed for reflow soldering (paste stencil recommended)
  • Pad size optimized for 0.5mm pitch components
  • Follow IPC-7351 land pattern guidelines
