If D1 is less than 0.60 then start in the Molded Body calculator with most of the dimensions and the mfr. recommended pattern. 

Then move the footprint to FP Designer and fill out the 'Specifications' panel and edit the Body dimensions and pad stacks as needed.

1. Please add more detail is that generic rules for similar case if the 'D1' dimension is less than 0.60 from the 'D' dimension, then it's an FP Designer footprint.

2. Also in FP tab, create it normal and after that choose to transfer to FP tab, or I must create it from scratch in FP tab

It is a 'Molded Body' package if the 'D1' dimension is at least 0.60 mm less than the 'D' dimension. 



If the 'D1' dimension is less than 0.60 from the 'D' dimension, then it's an FP Designer footprint.

For this part” TAJB685M025RNJ” in this datasheet “http://download.siliconexpert.com/pdfs2/2026/1/22/22/20/26/9847155927/avx_/manual/taj.pdf”

What PCB Model should we use to  createFootprint ?

Is it  “Molded Body”?  Correct orwrong
