It sounds like we're doing something different here, Igor, in that the
device will be placed by machine and reflow soldered. However, even
using these methods the industry hasn't settled upon a good design, so I
would be interested to see your design, if you could send it to me
please? PNG would be fine if you don't have a kicad footprint.
Regards,
Robert.
