SOIC is .050" (half DIP lead pitch) and there is stuff at .635mm (.025" or quarter DIP pitch) but all of electronics is moving toward hard metric dimensions.
I just left my pick and place machine in metric, and do everything for it in mm units. Fortunately, my electronic CAD system will make data for either units easily. Funny, though, my PC board house wants data in inch units, but the boards are made in China! No doubt they convert everything to mm before sending data to the Chinese fab.
