I am presently drawing up footprints for my stock components.
I have read the naming conventions for the footprints and have
done some searches but can't find an answer to this query.
I have for many components two different foot prints. I would
like to know if there is a convention to naming the multiples.
I don't mean I have a device that comes in a DIP40 and also
comes in a TQFP44. I mean I wish to have two version of a
MSSOP28W (0.65mm 28 lead 5.3mm wide package)
footprint.
I would like one version of the footprint following the
manufacturer approved pin width/length. I would also like
another version with longer pins that I use in prototype
boards that I will hand solder.
Any input on names appreciated.
