A thread about neat 555 facts and stories. Doing some research in the 555 timer. Did you know that the 555 timer was originally released in both a standard DIP-8 package along with a metal can package? Does anyone have one of these? 🧵🪡

Today I got a hilarious and wonderful Christmas surprise in the mail from @MakeAugusta! Not in a million years would I have been able to guess what was in this package when he told me something was headed my way. David does pcb event badges and design - all USA made - 100% worth checking out!
