Re: [PEDA] SMT resistor array footprints and usage?

As everybody else has indicated, you are best to create your own. I'll assume you are getting your parts (or at least have seen the parts) in a Digikey catalog. I've used the footprints for the Panasonic EXB-A and EXB-V8V footprints as they are called out in the catalog and they worked fine. As

Hey, you guys rock! : Thanks so much to all of you for the helpful feedback concerning the resistor question I posted the other evening. Doing a handful of designs layouts in Protel thus far has been a big learning experience, I can defiantly say I agree with creating the

I'm afraid you'll probably have to make the footprints. As I'm sure I won't be the last to tell you: it's dicing with death (of the project) to use Protel supplied footprints. There are a large number of footprints in error to a greater or lesser degree. Every single footprint used should be

i agree with John's view here the supplied footprints are not all bad or entirely worthless but given that you should check all footprints and put them in a verified_footprints lib, the amount of work to make one is similar to the amount of work to thoroughly check one also there are widely
