PCB Mistakes

2/19/2014

I made mistakes with my PCB.  For capacitors, I used DipTrace's CAP part from the Discrete library.  This had a footprint with holes .1" apart.  My capacitors needed .2" spacing.  CAP200 from the Discrete library would've worked.

For the ferrite bead, I used IND from the Discrete library.  The footprint's holes were too small for the ferrite bead's leads to go through.  Hole sizes about same as for pin headers would've worked.  I'll probably make a copy of the IND part (to take advantage of its symbol in Schematic view) and replace the footprint in the copy.
