the best bet is always to download the datasheet from the part
manufacturer (they may have a separate file/link for the package info)
and compare that to what someone says is the outline you think might be
similar.  especially with surface it's a real pain if things are wrong
once the boards made (i've been bitten by this once with through hole
fuse holders, we didn't have any on hand and i had to
calculate/guestimate the layout for the 2 end pieces with a fuse in,
needless to say i put them a little too close together though it worked
if they were slanted a bit, but not good, but we were in a hurry to have boards).
