IMHO, CAPR maybe round (circular body) if looked from the XZ-view and "somewhat rectangular"/"smallish ellipsoid" in the XY-view (footprint/landpattern) as with "Ceramic Disc" capacitors. The CAPR-508P-381W-1016L-1168H__Kemet_C340.fp referenced on the page in the above mentioned URL, is a "Ceramic Conformally Coated • Radial • (Golden Max) Catalog F3101" capacitor (according to Kemet) with a rectangular shape (rounded corners) in the XZ-view and an oblong shape in the XY-view. Note the word "Radial". It's the XZ-view which we do not use in pcb footprints/landpatterns that causes IPC and friends some confusion, as the IPC interpretation (of max. four words) is not enlightened with pictures (saying more than a thousand words). OTOH, I may be confused as well :) > But the polar CAPPR seems to be really round. > > No discussion needed on CAPPR :) Kind regards, Bert Timmerman. > > > > > > _______________________________________________ > geda-user mailing list > geda-user@moria.seul.org > http://www.seul.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/geda-user _______________________________________________ geda-user mailing list geda-user@moria.seul.org http://www.seul.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/geda-user
