Questions tagged [packages]
In electronics packages refer to the physical encapsulation of a device. Most package names are standardized, so for example a TO-92 package will have similar dimensions and pin spacing between manufacturers so the same PCB footprint may be used. Be aware however many packages have subtle variations, for example TO-206AA, TO-206AB and TO-206AC.

Standard SMD chip resistor with higher power in the same package
I'm used to choosing SMD resistance package size according to the power they will need to dissipate (+ a margin). i.e: 0603: 0.1W, 0805: 0.125W, 1206: 0.25W, 1210: 0.5W, like you can find here. But ...
