Better fitting dimensions for 0805 (!712) · Merge requests · KiCad / KiCad Libraries / KiCad Footprints · GitLab

Rene Poeschl requested to merge github/fork/poeschlr/own_research_0805 into master Jun 29, 2018

Fix for #711 (closed) (reported by @stambaughw Originally the dimensions for 0805 where taken from IPC-SM-782. These measurements seem to no longer fit the range of parts available right now. An arbitrary selection of 15 different parts was used to determina a better fitting footprint. The research can be found under https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1BsfQQcO9C6DZCsRaXUlFlo91Tg2WpOkGARC1WS5S8t0/edit?usp=sharing
