part footprint between 0603 and 0805?

I don't know but I doubt it, gotta ask why?

The footprints are guidelines and will dominate fit. Adjustible per your process control.

A 'skinny' body is always available by mounting parts on their side, but not for automated processes, unless specially taped.

Whoa!!

Usually capacitors with significant body thickness...

I like the 0306 caps, the ones metalized on the long sides. Great for really fast stuff.

Is that green thermal epoxy on the IC's?

Yes, it's there to obscure the part numbers. It's rock-hard.

I do that a lot in protos. Sure makes the tweezers easier to handle.

Whoa, John, I didn't know you were into secrecy?

Sometimes. This is a cool and unique product, which uses parts off-label, and it wouldn't be hard to copy. It's not my function to give away product designs for free.

If you want to obscure the part numbers it is better to grind them off - acetone can often be used to remove hardened epoxy -sitz-bath-...

This Thermalloy green thermal epoxy is brutal, really hard to remove.

You often give us the best parts here on s.e.d.

Yeah, but I send John $1/day to keep posting circuits here.

and really hard to ship across borders in its two-part form.

I have employees and bills to pay, and I can't give away the crown jewels. We're really selling IP, not boards and parts.

Maybe Sally Struthers could do a fund raiser.
