Hello Ioan,

IPC has several publications that might be helpful, including some in
printed format and some on CD.  One that I've seen is a small handbook
entitled "Component Identification Desk Reference Manual", with an IPC
ordering code of DRM-18.  This book is not a standard, but it is useful for
part identification.  Note - Presumably the bigger (more expensive)
offerings from IPC include a wider range of parts and detail than DRM-18.

You can check out the IPC offerings at their website.   www.ipc.org

Good luck,

Dick Thompson

Subject:  [TN] Component packages


Hi Technos,

anybody aware of the existance of a standard on component packages? Like
something that shows a little drawing of the component and says this is a
SOIC8, this is a QSOP and so on. You know, things get really complicated
when it comes to crystals and odd forms.

I feel the need of this kind of standardization since in the contract
manufacturing world we meet all kind of denominations for the same package.
Each client seem to call the same component in a different manner.

I checked the JEDEC site, but there are so many standards there... Maybe
your experience could give me a more precise hint.

Thanks very much,
Ioan
