Here's the specs for a radial leaded capacitor: 7.5mm lead spacing, +/- 0.4mm lead diameter, phi = 0.5mm
What makes more sense for pcb layout: 1) Go with the spec as-is, and squeeze the leads into board if spacing is off nominal. 2) Use 7.5mm spacing with large holes to accommodate the tolerance. I figure the max spacing is 7.5 + 0.4 + (0.5*phi) = 8.1mm and minimum spacing is 7.5 - 0.4 - (0.5*phi) = 6.85mm So a hole size of (8.1 - 6.85)= 1.25mm should let the cap just drop right in for all cases, yes? Would it be too sloppy though? regards gene _______________________________________________ geda-user mailing list geda-user@moria.seul.org http://www.seul.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/geda-user
