Chip carrier

In electronics, a chip carrier is one of several kinds of surface-mount technology packages for integrated circuits (commonly called "chips"). Connections are made on all four edges of a square package, the outer edges of which contain metal pins that carry power and signals to and from the rest of the system. Compared to the internal cavity that holds the integrated circuit, the overall size of the package is large to provide room for robust pins.
