I have several links
to surface mount standards, but what I would like to know
is who actually
makes the standards for these footprints?
Is it IC makers and
they are adopted such organizations as IPC?
Are the IPC
standards THE standard or are they a collection of
others?
I understand there
are some European standards as well. Who
controls these?
(These may be a Gary questions)
I've found standards
or actually descriptions at several different sites and
want to ensure all
are correct.
Same question with
package types....
