Re: [psas-avionics] Strong opinion on 0603 vs 0402 for LGR, and future boards?

I didn't see anyone bring this up, and I'm not sure which dielectrics and types are being used, and at risk of stating what is likely trivially obvious to the electronics designers in this august group , but when using MLCC and going to smaller size capacitors (X5R and X7R, others) don't forget to

> Are there any places where we need to be concerned about wattage? Yep! There are two cases that we won't switch packages: one where wattage is a problem (so far, no cases of this on the LGR board) and one where the capacitance value is too high for an 0402 (anything greater than about 1 uF). In
