Land pattern check: RC0402FR-0740K2L

The footprint on this page is KiCad's standard library footprint Resistor_SMD:R_0402_1005Metric, renamed to R_0402_1005Metric_RC0402FR-0740K2L so it can sit beside other parts in one library folder. The copper is unchanged. This page compares those pads with the land pattern recommended by YAGEO.

KiCad pads over the maker's land, true scale

Grey is the part body at its datasheet nominal size, teal is the KiCad copper, the dashed amber outline is the maker's land (middle of its printed range, or its printed nominal), and the amber bands show where the maker allows the inner and outer pad edges when it prints a range.

Numbers

Dimension KiCad footprint Maker's recommendation Difference
gap between lands 0.48 mm 0.50 mm -0.02 mm
land length 0.54 mm 0.50 mm +0.04 mm
land width 0.64 mm 0.60 mm +0.04 mm
overall length 1.56 mm 1.50 mm +0.06 mm

Maker's letters: A = overall length, B = gap between lands, C = land length, D = land width (YAGEO letters).

Result

The KiCad pads are within 0.06 mm of every YAGEO value (YAGEO prints nominal values only, with a placement accuracy of +/-0.15 mm), so the footprint matches the maker's pattern for practical purposes.

KiCad pad centres are at +/-0.51 mm, pad size 0.54 x 0.64 mm, rounded rectangle (corner ratio 0.25). The numbers are in land-check.json; the drawing is made by provenance/tools/landcheck.py from the footprint file and the maker's table.
