  "readme": "# C_0603 (1608 Metric)\n\nThe 0603 (1608 Metric) is one of the most widely used passive component sizes in modern electronics. At 1.6 x 0.8mm, it sits between the tiny 0402 and the hand-solderable 0805, offering a practical balance of board density and manufacturability. Commonly used for decoupling capacitors, termination resistors, and filter networks. Skilled technicians can hand-solder 0603 parts with fine-tip irons, making it viable for both prototyping and production. The default passive size for many mid-density designs.",
