Even with 0402 we can access the shunt resistors. In addition with 0402 we also move closer to the single board LGR/system controller option.
I don't see any reason not to go with 0402. - K On Oct 9, 2016 11:56 AM, "Andrew Greenberg" <a...@ece.pdx.edu> wrote: > Hey everyone, > > Glenn added a reflectometer to the LGR, and in doing so, he introduced a > bunch of 0402 components to an existing 0603 board.
