PCB Footprints
PCB footprints are the second major step in this pcb design guide. As you’re capturing a schematic is a great idea to associate your components with a pcb footprint. After you schematic capture is complete you’ll move straight into the pcb layout phase. Otherwise you’ll spend many hours designing and associating the parts with a footprint.
This section of the pcb design guide is intended to provide design tips on how to design your footprints so your parts fit every time. There is nothing worse than having to troubleshoot a footprint design and having to go back and spin the board again for a single footprint.
