I know it is some where, but could someone point out where I could find the information on the meanings of the silkscreen patterns produced by "PCB Libraries". I think it was following a standard. I am attempting to understand the polarity of the capacitor standard. I used from the library of "PCB Libraries", "CAPMP6032X280 Capacitor, Polarized, Molded Body;6.00 mm L X 3.20 mm W X 2.80 mm H body" for SMD Parts. However, looking at the part I created I am not sure which is positive or Neg. Is the slanted part on the left side showing Neg. or Pos? Thank You |

The Molded Body Polarized Capacitor has the Positive end on Pin 1. Use the "Drafting Outline" feature to add your personal polarity marking. These are your options:  You can pick the shape, size, location, rotation and filled or unfilled polygons. You also pick the layer: Legend Top/Bottom or Assembly Top/Bottom ------------- Stay connected - follow us! https://twitter.com/PCBLibraries" rel="nofollow - X - http://www.linkedin.com/company/pcb-libraries-inc-/" rel="nofollow - LinkedIn |
