It is smaller than a 40-pin DIP (often the extra 4 leads add no functionality). It's also one of the few packages that can be plugged into a reasonably priced SMT production socket. It can also be soldered directly to the board, or used with a through-hole socket. For the complete picture go to here: (it might be a couple of megs if that matters) http://www.microchip.com/Download/lit/suppdoc/package/00049q.pdf and look at page 11-30.
