It has a wide range of advantages, including being low-cost, easy to assemble, and reliable. DIP stands for the “Dual In-line” design. This refers to the fact that the IC is placed side by side on a Printed Circuit Board (PCB). It’s also referred to as “pin-in-hole”, since the IC is mounted on the PCB by inserting its leads through holes in the PCB.
