I am using MELF components on my current design,
which I haven't seen much this century.
But I remember way back when we used "U-shaped" land shapes.

I notice the current Land Pattern standard (IPC-7351) recommends
rectangular,
but at least one person has suggested using U-shaped "just in case".
I generally resist that kind of philosophy unless there is science behind
it.
Is anyone using U-shaped pads anymore?
(Is anyone using MELFs anymore? smile)
