Ioan,
Definition of a Polarized Component:
A component with an orientation indicator.
I would suggest that a DPAK cannot reasonable be oriented incorrectly as
there is no rotational position that matches leads to land patterns. After
writing loads of software that deals with component orientation logic I have
decided:
Forget about Cathodes, Anodes, Pin 1 and all such rubbish. Only one concept
is required and that is an "Orientation Mark".
The "Opportunity" I see is for the correct alignment of a part orientation
mark to the PCB orientation mark and that is hit or miss. So I see only 1
opportunity. Though, I can see parts without an orientation being "Easier"
to get right which implies another set of issues.
One interesting question is how does one weigh the "Defect" of getting a
reel loaded incorrectly? That one error propagates into a huge number of
secondary defects. Are 1000 boards each with 10 diodes positioned
incorrectly a single reel loading defect or 10,000 placement defects? :-(

Dear Technos,
For DPMO purposes, how do you define polarized components? And I mean beyond
diodes, tantalum caps and ICs, for instance connectors or DPAKs.
Hypothetically one can mount a DPAK at 90, 180 or 270 degrees. It is
obvious, easy to see if this part, or an RJ connector is mounted in a
different position than required, but are they considered polarized parts
when doing the opportunities count?
Thanks,
