  9. Pin compatibility - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pin_compatibility

    Pin compatibility is a property desired by systems integrators as it allows a product to be updated without redesigning printed circuit boards, which can reduce costs and decrease time to market. Although devices which are pin-compatible share a common footprint, they are not necessarily electrically or thermally compatible.
