Need help in generating a simple land pattern and comments from the assembler. Our land pattern expert is busy, so I decided to generate a footprint for a MIL-PRF-55681/4E, CDR12 style ceramic cap...Not a problem...WRONG !!! The IPC land pattern calculator asks very embarrassing questions like "Fab Tol", "Place Acrcy" and the ever popular "Solder Joint Design Goals" Do I really have to talk to a group of people to get those numbers or are there "rule-of-thumb" numbers that I can use ??? I would think that those numbers could also be assembler dependent. Suggestions welcomed !! Also, are there any assemblers out there that would like to comment on using this .055 X .055 part. Remember that this is a family forum and young children may be reading your comments. :) :) Thanks in advance for all help/suggestions/comments. Enjoy..
