Hi to all,

We are a medium size company doing mainly broadband RF designs (5MHz to
1Ghz) for the cable industries.
Our PCBs are usualy 2 layers, components on 1 side. We use mainly 0805
packages for caps and res. Price is a high concern to us.

Since we notice a lot of delays in the delivery of 0805 packages, we are
looking on switching to 0603 or most probably 0402 packages.


Do any of you have opinions on this switch?
We noticed that the price of parts will get higher, will there be major
technical difficulties in design or assemblies of PCBs?
Do any of you looked at or made the switch?
Do you have any recommandations about the switch?

Just trying to get more opinions on the table,

Thanks to all,
Dominic Gagnier
