Component Package Size Recommendations

This guide provides recommended package sizes for all components in the Midea AC Controller PCB design.

General Recommendations

For Hand Assembly (Prototyping):

  • Use 0805 (2.0mm × 1.25mm) or larger for passive components
  • Easier to solder manually
  • Better for low-volume production

For Automated Assembly (Production):

  • Use 0603 (1.6mm × 0.8mm) or 0402 (1.0mm × 0.5mm)
  • Smaller board size
  • Lower cost in volume
  • Requires pick-and-place machine

Recommended for this project: 0805 (good balance of size, cost, and ease of assembly)

Cost Considerations

Package Size vs Cost (typical, per 1000 units):

  • 0402: Lowest cost, smallest size
  • 0603: Low cost, small size
  • 0805: Moderate cost, good size (recommended)
  • 1206: Higher cost, larger size

For this project: 0805 is the sweet spot - not too expensive, not too hard to assemble.
