Contact pads
Pad shape, material and replaceability affect the interface description. Record where the part touches rather than relying on a catalogue image.
This reference collection concerns light, offline dimensional-inspection layouts. It brings locating concepts, component descriptions and revision records together without substituting for an engineered fixture design. The drawings are original explanatory diagrams. Reference IDs identify documents, not commercially tested products. Read the scope and limitations alongside each example, and keep the actual part drawing and inspection requirements available when reviewing a proposed layout.
Practical example
Distinguish a flat, curved, annular or replaceable contact in the component record.
Material compatibility requires knowledge of the actual part surface and conditions.
