I'm entirely self-taught so please forgive the super basic question.
If I wanted to be able to accommodate both a TO5-8 footprint and DIP-8 footprint, is this an okay strategy?
For all I know this is a super common thing to do--I've seen it done with through-hole DIP-8 and smaller SMT packages, but I can't recall ever having seen it done with DIP-8 and TO5-8. The only question is whether some of the pads might end up borderline too-close. Otherwise it seems it could work okay.
Any reason I shouldn't do this?
Thanks so much
