Is there a site somewhere with comprehensive drawings of everything in SMD packages? I have an SMD LED (APA102) and going nuts finding the art for the PCB. Wasn't shown on the datasheet. I think it's a 5050? (Not familiar).
Is it just me or were internet searches much easier 20 *^$&ing years ago? :)
That kind of info needs to come from the datasheet. The manufacturer, Shenzhen Shiji Lighting Co.,Ltd, may have the dimensions. One of the datasheets on the Adafruit website shows pin dimensions, but the scan is unreadable. Perhaps a 5x5mm package, 1mm pin width and 0.5mm spacing. Maybe you can guess, or maybe you can call someone there.
For this search, I would use google images. Then pad layout images show up, and when one clicks those, one sees the image, and the link that sourced it. Upon examining that link, one can decide whether to visit the site the link refers to.
I searched this under google images and I think I saw your desired layout as the second image listed...

I recall some years ago there was a program you could download that would p roduce the specs for all the standard foot prints. You could pull up any g iven footprint and tweak the details and produce modified versions as well. I don't recall who produced it and my bookmarks from that time seem to be lost.
I do recall this program was used to produce footprint libraries for FreePC B. I expect someone in that group will remember the name of the program an d likely the company that provided it. I'll ask.

I think I found a link and the company no longer seems to provide a free to use copy of their software. It was

Beware, for one instance there are two completely different packages referred to as TSSOP8. I have learnt it the hard way, had to re-spin the PCB. Never trust the packaging specs and check the footprint yourself.
