> teardrop? i dont understand what is this? where i can get it

Teardrops are an option with some PCB packages for connecting tracks to
pads. They are shaped like teardrops and provide additional copper at the
junctions. They are mainly used on single-sided boards and increase the
reliablity of the solder joints.
