Thanks John, That's a nice site. It had some good training stuff as well. I had seen a thread here on the forum for this same question and someone posted this link www.practicalcomponents.com . It gives all the package sizes and dementions as

I suggest that you get a copy of IPC -SM-782A 'Surface Mount Design and Land Pattern Standard'. This gives component dimensions and recommended land patterns for nearl all surface mount components. You could also benmefit from a copy of TopLine Dummy

I've had problems with this in the past, pretty sure it was due to age. Had a couple of old reels of dummy parts that would not allow for any type of stretching of the cover tape. I have also seen where the cover tape appears to shrink and it pulls

It's like Mom used to say, "Just because you CAN hit something hard with the thing that you use to think, that doesn't mean you SHOULD do it." [Er, words to that effect.] If your engineers feel a need to develop 0402 process, maybe they should cons

If you are looking for a chart of component conversions, you can go to Topline Components's website. Topline is a vendor for dummy test parts. http://www.topline.tv/Products.cfm Click on the chips, and then select the type of chips (resistor, cap,

If you get the dummy components catalogs from Topline, http://www.topline.tv and Practical Components, http://www.practicalcomponents.com you will have most of the common SMD parts. There have been many inquires about a master list, or complete list

I have a wall of shame in my office. If someone does something stupid that damages equipment or parts I hang them on the wall to Embarrass them for their entire employment. sounds like you should hang these pictures on your oven to remind people what

Are there SMT mechanical components like that could be used for orientating PCB-level optics on the board and do not require holes in the board? Their final position would solely depend on the reflow. A height of 1/8" would be sufficient. I was con

I am in need of two Fuji or Panasonic "tape and reel" holders. I will be using them to hold dummy 0402 and 0201 outline components which have undergone some special treatment and packaged in tape and reel. This is not for SMT application but for s

I ended up just making a new test board as we had some specific PnP abilities we wanted to test, but I did follow up on your link and got a quote. The dummy components were way cheaper than what we bought from Digikey or what I saw on Topline. This w
