Hi, I am looking for land patterns for 0612 and 0508 chip capacitors. Because they are not standard (yet) package sizes, i am having trouble finding a standard land pattern. (If you don't know what these are, picture a 1206 or an 0805 with the te

Here's what we suggest: * Keep a 5-mm space between a board edge and a ceramic capacitor. * Mount the capacitor parallel relative to the edge. * Design pads about a half of the termination. * Fixture the board when using your pizza cutter.

We use a FKN pizza cutter and found that even with 5mm clearance and the proper orientation of the part larger ceramic capacitors 1812, 1210 would still stress fracture. We have successfully fixed stress fracture problems by adding routed relief slot

hello; When we are doing component land pattern design , one thing will always be in our mind; that is the basic criteria or common land pattern design guideline for reflow and flow solder assemblies. For basic fomula in calculating resistors are:

In the beginning, there was TO-5. And it was good. Flushed with success, they created TO-220. It too was good. Then came SMT. It was better than some things, but then again ... In these early days, there was a haze on the horizon that blocked t

Any possibility of having some changes made to the PCB for future runs? Can the ground connections be modified to have thermal relief patterns? At one time occasionally people would come to me to tell me that the power was out at their work station

While attempting to use the IPC-SM-782, land pattern calculator, I came across the term Component ID. (for example - "C1005") I am not sure what this is. I wanted to verify the IPC recommended land pattern for a Chip Capacitor with 0603 size. Can any
