I'll take the total lack of response to mean nobody has seen this.

Thanks anyway.

Subject: +AFs-TN+AF0- Round SMT pads


Hello

Is there a trend coming to use round pads for SMT components?

I work for a contract manufacturer and within the last month we have quoted 2 assemblies from 2 different customers, both had round pads for 0603 components. Both customers outsourced their board design. We do not know if both customers used the same designer.

We have not seen this before and have not found any information supporting this type of design. Anyone have any information on processing these?

Thanks
Jason Lineback
