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
