MEP EP#257: Viciously Different Creams

Parker

  • The ole ordered a 0603 and it was metric instead resulting in an 0201 imperial chip component.
    • 0.6mm x 0.3mm = 0.024” x 0.012”
    • 0201 imperial chip size only size that does not match the actual size
      • Imperial 0201 is 24mil x 12mil... not 20mil x 10mil like the name implies
      • Imperial 0603 is 60mil x 30mil
      • 0603 metric is the only standard metric size that has the same size code as an imperial one!
      • Does anyone actually use the metric sizing for chip components?

        • Hardware v software - Features and their impact
          • Hardware
            • needs a lot of motivation to make a feature. It is slow and deliberate. Removing features is a big deal
            • features by default cannot break the device unless extreme cases are encountered
            • Software is "easier" to flip the switch on features.
              • Have to consider all the ways this will break things.

                • Creating arrays actually creates arrays

                  • Ref Des is maintained!
                  • Changes to one board are not copied!
                  • Holes are not a function.....They are a footprint and therefore need to be created.
                  • Most tutorials suggest that Mouse bites be made a part....
                  • Buying new machines
                    • Sometimes being an engineer is annoying but you still have to do it
