Hi All, just wanted to share cool experiment I did today, I soldered few capacitors today on same board starting from 0805 down to 008004, all the way down to 0201 is super easy, at 01005 that's where fun begins but still quite possible even with 10x magnification. I may do this over again in couple weeks because pads for 008004 came a bit too small so part offsets when solder start flowing, which is fine but not aesthetically what I wanted :) I used to think 0603 is small :) |

This will make a great reference picture aswell for many future readers, its sometimes hard to grasp just how small they are, I've had to do 01005 by eye before, It wasn't hard, but it wasn't easy, 008004 by eye is something i hope i never have to do. |

008004? WTF? You just made that up. |
| alexg:
Its ridiculously small, this image from net shows them lined up on the match head and smallest one there is 01005, so 008004 is twice smaller that that :) if you put it on your finer tip it will sink between fingerprint lines :) http://www.surfacemountprocess.com/uploads/5/4/1/9/54196839/8280339.jpg?302 |

0201= 0603 metric. 01005=0402 metric...what could possibly go wrong....? Guess why I have a strip of 01005 resistors in an unopened Digikey bag my drawer... ( it does occasionally come in handy when someone comments that 0402's are tiny.) Incidentally.... 2512, 2010, 1206, 0603, 0402, 0201, 01005... all 2:1 aspect ratio so why 0805 and not 0804? Anyone know? |
