My thought was that a bigger footprint would give you room to get a soldering iron in there. The 01005's are only 16 mils LONG. My soldering iron tip is 20 mils. So even on the M footprints, there's only about 9 mils of pad showing. For the 0201-M, there's 14 mils showing, etc. > OTOH, the 'L' footprints are definitely too small. Oh, yeah. Definitely. _______________________________________________ geda-user mailing list geda-user@moria.seul.org http://www.seul.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/geda-user
