content: have been trying to make some prototype PCBs ... and ran into some weird diode sizes @ element14 ... unlike resistor sizes being easy to understand, i decided to make a chart to put some shapes together for reference purpose. hope its useful for new people etc (and useful for pad size swapping and equivalent model size confirmation)**minor updates** 28feb2015

content: Handy, cheersThe red text is really hard to read on the pink, though

content: That looks like quite a useful little guide.One thing, is my eyes deceiving me or is there no 0603?

content: Not to keep asking for stuff, but can you do an inverted one with a white background and black components? I could try to print it to scale which would be cool too. Thanks!

content: Very nice. On the scale you can paste the picture into a program like Word and adjust the size until the 100 mil scale is 100 mil...Maybe it could be embedded into a PDF so the scale could be set. If so you could have two copies - one at scale and one zoomed for readability and size comparison. Landscape would be best.

content: i manage to re-do this chart partially for fun (the original is lost in a broken HDD)this image below is a lossy version (google blogger compression)this file version is in GIF 1pixel per 1mil resolutionhttps://drive.google.com/open?id=0B8yFRtbwGWr5YmRuSC15dy13OVEthe main purpose is to help aid in PCB layout, esp for hand soldering (and hidden perils of bulky capacitors)most packages are re-edited to facilitate a manhattan-ish style of work (top side layout-ish)by zooming in, the component model can be seen and can be found on mouser, eg p09 series VR)(as to why my EAGLE have such colorful palette, see herehttps://3roomlab.blogspot.sg/2015/09/diy-eagle-cadsoft-hotkey-settings.html, this works for version 6.xx. old EAGLE ftw)feel free to download n use. ENJOY !
