This is the first time I can ever remember a manufacturer asking for input
from designers.
You should get a standing ovation....

THANK YOU!

Subject:        [DC] Pad Layout Question

My company is a manufacturer of oscillators and I have some questions
regarding appropriate pad/lead layout.  I am not a design engineer and seek
advice.  Attached is a copy of the proposed layout.  Given the small
dimensions and the spacing between solder areas, there is concern of
problems with manufacturability.  I have two questions:  1.) Does anyone see
any issues with this current layout and 2.) If the 0.600 dimension (penciled
in by hand) is shortened to any degree, would this be a problem?  Please
advise, thank you.
