Part category

Chip resistors and capacitors (0201 to 2512)

The highest-volume parts on any line. The body is simple; the traps are the size code (imperial or metric), the height of capacitors, and the tape pitch.

The numbers you program

Length × width from the size code
Height (capacitors vary a lot with value)
Terminal length t
Tape width and pocket pitch

Mistakes to watch

Imperial 0603 confused with metric 0603 (an 0201)
Tall capacitors programmed at resistor height
Ordering cut tape with no leader

Each of these has a check in PnP Toolkit. See the test results on the proof page.
