Resistor package help

autodeskguest

What resistor packages would I use for a standard 1/4 and 1/2 w resistor?

 

Thanks

    I assume you mean SMT? There are a lot of standard sizes.   I think you

    can get 1/4W in 0805 and up.   1/2W generally requires 1206 or larger.

      Footprints for these parts should be in the standard library

    (rcl.lib?)  Some current sense resistors have not so standard footprints

    so you may have to create a library part.
