Dimensions And Recommended Footprint

Dimensions and a recommended footprint (land pattern) for the SOD-123 component package.

Note that the pins in the above diagram are labelled with the diode anode being pin 2, and the cathode being pin 1. This is not what I would consider to be intuitive numbering!
