Dear Tech Net: The following is a question from a customer. Any information would be greatly appreciated. Thanks for your consideration. Sincerely, Joe Ahearn Automata Hi Joe. We are trying to standardize the rotation information for components on our PCB designs and wondered if you have this type of information. Our question is: Is there a standard covering component rotation data for use by pick/place machines when the boards are being stuffed? We are in the process of updating our component symbol library and one of the things we need to add to the symbol data is rotation data. We need to know where pin 1 is located to consider the part at 0 degrees. For example, a QFP may have pin 1 in the top left corner -- would this be considered 0 degrees? Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks Tom
