A way to get commonly used parts in PCBs

centaurus

Seems like there is no real standard for basic things like 10k resistors or 10pF capacitors. Wouldn't it really simplify things if we all agreed on a common manufacturer/standard for these and hence fix the foot-prints? 

Came across Octopart's Common Parts Library, where they are trying to accumulate commonly used components in PCBs. It is pretty neat, they also have footprints from SnapEDA for KiCad, Altium and Eagle. 

Any other ideas on what the community can do to standardize this process and make the PCB development cycle faster?

    SnapEDA also supply data for OrCAD and Allegro so that may help you.
