0805 footprint seems to be incorrect.

The SparkFun footprint for 0805 seems to be incorrect.

Looking at the IPC standard, the the total length should be 3.20mm, but the library dimensions is 2.60mm. The height is also incorrect. And actually, the library length of the 0805 is shorter than the 0603. The 0603 part matches the standard fine.

Here’s the details:

Z = Total width

G = Spacing between pads

X = height of pad

           Z    G    X
IPC       3.20  .60 1.50
Sparkfun  2.60 1.00 1.20

If anyone is interested I could fix it and upload the corrected version, but I’d only do it if the patch would get pulled in.

Pretty much everywhere the 0805 is used has the issue.

For example the 0805 package in this library (used for the capacitors and resistors):
