Hi all,
I have had some problems with a recent build with 0603 capacitors. The
problem was that they were either very skewed or were soldered to one pad
only (pulled off the other). The land pattern for the 0603 cap on this board
was (I thought) fairly questionable. Using the IPC-SM-782 terminology, the
current design is:
X = 1.27 (0.05")
Y = 0.508 (0.02")
G = 1.016 (0.04")
Our design dept's justification for this design is based on being able to
put a via between the pads, but to my mind the G value is too borderline for
consistent results. Also, I think the X value is a little on the high side -
hence the skewing.
I'm now trying to convince the design guys to adopt the IPC guidelines - at
least the recommended G value anyway.
I'd appreciate anybody else's thoughts on this!
Incidentally, we placed 0402s on the same board with very few problems :)

Thanks
