I did a search for Holtek on their website and it came up with nothing. It's not even clear what the 40110 is, they haven't put the manufacturer's name on the page as far as I can see..?
...Well ok if I try to use a PIC as the decoder, is there an encoder available in the UK that I can mount on a breadboard? (I've tried salvaging from a VCR kit but that was PCB mounted.)

Perhaps it's been discontinued now?, look for holtek ht12a

Thanks, is there any way to know that it is breadboard compatible ?
I have ordered stuff online before (from Maplin, incidentally) that had a photo of it being breadboard compatible but it wasn't when I received the part.

You should be able to find out the spacing and dimensions of the pins by looking at the datasheet, check that they are suitably spaced and sized for use with your breadboard and there should be no problem.

I believe the the OP is asking if the chip will fit on their breadboard and is not for example surface mount.
As this is what he first asked in post #1 and has been verified by myself and on the posted data-sheet (thanks Eric) I do not believe there to be a problem.
So would I be right in saying that because it is DIP (Dual Inline Packaged), it can be put onto a breadboard - and there's no way that the spacing and molding of the pins would prevent it being put onto a breadboard if it is DIP? I just want to clarify this.
Usually best to find other sources to support wikipedia, but it can be extremely useful. I didn't know what a DIP was until I read that, now I know almost all of the ICs I own are DIPs but yes, they will fit in a breadboard; it's part of their design.
