Talk:PCB Footprints

hi..can someone help me to build SSOP36 footprint for eagle. i don't understand with component dimension from datasheet, such us MAX7301AAX, what is 0.80 BSC mean ? why do people make other people dizzy with document annotation?

Contributing

Please follow these simple guidelines for contributing footprints.

• Standardized packages each get their own page
• Create a section or sub-section for each variation of a footprint/package
• Footprints for common components (i.e. diodes) or non-standard packages each have their own section on the page for that component
• Create a table under each footprint section for footprints with multiple pin counts

Take a look at DIP if there are any questions.

Cleanup & Reorganization

It seems this page could be a lot more than just a list of links to lists of footprints. There are so many different versions of the same footprint, and I'm sure many just getting into electronics find this confusing.

I plan on the following reorganization:

• each footprint gets its own page, equivalent names redirect to that page
• each page has a list of different versions, with the ones that work the best at the top
• each version has its dimensions listed, with links to download it for Eagle, gEDA, KiCAD
