What is the proper zero orientation for a SMT LED?

According to IPC-7351, the cathode should be on the left for a molded diode. Echter, when I use component wizard of my suppliers to create a diode, it places the cathode (K) on the right. Does it depend on the manufacturer? How does the assembly house know which way is correct?

We prefer cathode on the left, as per the standard, but typically rely on silkscreen or customer input to determine the proper orientation.

Wat anderen vragen

Welke soldeerboutpunt moet ik gebruiken??

Al het soldeerwerk dat ik tot nu toe heb gedaan, is met doorlopende componenten. Ik hoop op een bepaald moment in de toekomst over te stappen op enkele kleinere onderdelen voor opbouwmontage. I’ve got a Weller WES51 soldering station. There is a large number of ET series tips available. How do I choose the right tip for the components I’ll be working with?

What are primary and secondary sides of PCB?

I am designing a 2 layer PCB with components on both side of it. SMT components are one one side of PCB, but TH (door gat) components are on both sides. I need to understanding something mentioned by the supplier called primary and secondary sides.

Kan ik een printplaat maken zonder grondvlak??

Recently we are developing a portable device which should be very tiny and light. In terms of PCB design, I am thinking whether it is a good idea to exclude ground plane to minimize the product size.
