The easiest way is to manually enter that into the bom and put instructions in the assembly drawing. It will probably cause pick and place issue (and it would not show up correctly as well), so it would be limited to being hand placed and soldered.
Hi all
I'm drawing up a Low Pass Filter for a HF power amp.
The topology of the filter requires some parallel capacitors to achieve the required capacitances.
?
In most cases 4 capacitors (sometimes 6) will make up to final result, for example, 100p, 47p, 47p and a 22p = 216p (pretty close to what I need)
To create a complete BOM using the component capacitors, I need to include each capacitor in the schematic ... no big issue except for the footprints.
?
I was using multi component footprints to make it easier to position the capacitor group on the PCB (as per image embedded).? If I give each capacitor a single footprint, then it starts to get pretty messy with overlapping pads in a confined space.? If I give each capacitor a multi component footprint, I have a huge number of footprints layered on top of each other, also not idea.? Below is the type of footprint I'd prefer to use ...?
?
My question is; What is the best way to achieve a clean PCB design and still have a comprehensive BOM?
?
