Polarity Marking not necessary for packages that can be inverted during assembly (like a resistor). The minimum Dot diameter should be 0.40 mm. Anything smaller is too hard to see during the Post Assembly Inspection process. The range for Dot sizes is 0.40 – 1.00. The Dot diameter should be the same value as the pad width but keep it within the range. A dot is normally used, but other symbols like square and triangle can be used. On very dense part placement boards, a line drawn the length of pin 1 can be used, but it's hard to identify it as a pin 1 polarity marker.  ------------- Stay connected - follow us! https://twitter.com/PCBLibraries" rel="nofollow - X - http://www.linkedin.com/company/pcb-libraries-inc-/" rel="nofollow - LinkedIn |
