The geometry furnished for these devices, as well as inward and "J" - formed lead contact device families, may provide a wider process window for reflow solder processes as well.ĢIPC B: Median (Nominal) Land Protrusion – Products with a moderate level of component density may consider adapting the 'median' land pattern geometry. If you consider tolerance settings, units, line-widths, pad shapes, rotations, and many dozens of other settings (all configurable with the PCB Footprint Expert), you can create over 1,800 variations of ONE SINGLE library! We empower you to quickly build high-quality standard libraries to meet your specific needs.ġIPC A: Maximum (Most) Land Protrusion – For low-density product applications, the 'maximum' land pattern condition has been developed to accommodate wave or flow solder of leadless chip devices and leaded gull wing devices. We built the Footprint Expert around the notion that there are as many unique PCB library needs as there are users. (licensed outputs in the Enterprise Edition are purchased options, not free features) Apply rules to component families and component terminal lead types.Dynamic support for Imperial and metric - easily convert between mil and metric units.One-click pad shapes supported: Rectangle, Oblong, D-Shape, and Rounded Rectangle.One-click rotate/mirror footprint, very useful for rapid LGA/BGA design wow!!.Automate creation of component manufacturer recommended footprints.
Enter component dimensions using Nominal plus tolerance or Min/Max dimensions.Calculate high resolution footprints directly from component dimensions.PLUS all the features of the FREE Footprint Expert "Pro" edition, which include: ** New part requests start at $5, per pricing schedule posted on POD credits page. Latest Footprint Expert version is highly recommended as POD data format is periodically updated to accommodate new Footprint Expert features.
Previously purchased maintenance that included POD access will continue to have POD access as purchased until that maintenance is due for renewal.
* Access to the POD database is available for $300/year, download limit is 500 parts per month.
(Libraries Enhanced with Automated Preferences) Here is what you get with the CAD output for DipTrace license: It outputs individual parts or entire libraries to all major CAD formats (each available separately). The Footprint Expert is the original IPC footprint automation solution, which is also flexible enough for the most advanced user-defined modifications to effortlessly create footprints from component data. Welcome to the next generation of PCB library development.
