DIP

Circuit board format

In electronics, DIP stands for dual in-line package—a rectangular housing for integrated circuits with two parallel rows of pins.

DIP switches are small banks of toggles used for hardware configuration.

The term appears in technical contexts involving circuit boards and chip packaging. (Lowercase dip is to submerge briefly.)
