Looking for standard discrete package footprints

AlexTaylor
AlexTaylor over 15 years ago

I am a new user to this OrCAD. Just started usnig OrCAD Capture and PCB Editor 16.3.

I am looking for package footprints for standard discretes. 0402 0603 0805 caps and resistors. I tried searching the libraries that came with the SW suite, but so far I am unable to find them.

 

Any help would be appreciated.

 

Thanks

    A footprint viewer and calculator based on IPC 7451 is available from PCB Matrix, (pcbmatrix.com)

    They have been acquired by Mentor Graphics so you may have to go to their site and ask for help.

    If you are looking for actual footrpints or schematic symbols, you usually have to either buy them, or build them.
