Many SMT components have maximum height specs, but that can get one into trouble. My little 14-parameter center-of-the-beehive monitor, has five sensor ICs with tiny holes, to let air in for measurement. To keep bees from covering sensor holes with waxy propolis, my board will have a clear thermo-plastic cover. The sensor heights are 0.8 to 0.9mm. So, to keep the cover from covering the sensor holes, I placed five 1.4mm tall parts on the PCB. These should keep the plastic 0.4 to 0.6 mm above the sensor holes.
AVX spec'd their 1uF, 25V 0805 caps at 1.4mm tall, but, oops, they measure 0.77mm thick. OK, Arrgh, the spec was for maximum height. What we need is a minimum height spec!
Poking around in my inventory, I found TDK C2012X7R1H225K125AC 2.2uF,50V 0805 caps, that measured 1.34mm thick. TDK's spec is nominal, 1.25 +/- 0.25 mm.
But if I use them, 3.3V-bus capacitance will be 11uF, instead of 5uF. The sensor power has a 50mA current limit, making a 11uF 3.3V / 50mA = 0.7ms turn-on risetime.
