well tested 0201 symbol footprint

frank mpbc over 5 years ago

Hello,

Could someone recommend a 0201 footprint that is well proven for good from personal experience for reflow assembly?

Place_Pound_Top. That is the layer Orcad/Allegro uses to flag touching/overlapping shapes.

By my third company library, I started adding a component Body shape on DFA_bound_top (not a courtyard, actual body outline). Its used by Allegro DFA Rules. But, it's been handy as a visual check.

Go online, and access them off the free sites - Ultralibrarian, SnapEDA, etc. They all build according to IPC standards. Standard sizes are all over the internet now. :)

For instance, attached is the 0201 cap from SnapEDA. Reminder - All footprint names are now in Metric (0603mm = 0201INCH)
