How close can you put 0603 chip resistors together | 26 October, 1998

Hi,

My question is how close can you place smd 0603 chip resistors to each other with having an assembly problem? I know the pick and place machines don't need a lot of clearance, Iam more concerned about the court yard area around the component to component problem.

Thanks

So your 0603 chip resistors can be 1.11 mm wide. Each chip can be off of its pad by 50%. That says the spacing should be 1.11 mm and still be within spec. Say you add a little and call your minimum spacing 1.4 mm. Dave F
