    <![CDATA[<strong>Author:</strong> <a href="https://www.PCBLibraries.com/forum/member_profile.asp?PF=3">Tom H</a><br /><strong>Subject:</strong> 1396<br /><strong>Posted:</strong> 25 Aug 2014 at 6:57pm<br /><br /><p>The answer to your question is that the "Side" solder joint goals for the pad width calculation&nbsp;are equal to or less than the Max Lead Width. This is correct according to the IPC-7351 solder joint goal chart for the "Inward L-Bend" component lead. But you have access in the User Preferences to change that value. That's the beauty of the Professional version. </p><p>Also, I would remove the redundant "b1" and "L1" component dimensions. </p><p>They are strictly for when Pin 2 is a different size. </p><p>If Pin 1 and 2 are identical there is no need for "b1" and "L1" component dimensions. </p><p>Also, in the Footprint Tab if the component mfr. provides a recommended patter, I often enter those dimensions here and then see the Viewer for the component Lead on top of pad to visualize the solder joint. But there is the Calculation Tab that provides all the Toe, Heel and Side Min. &amp; Max. goals. </p>]]>

In my example, b and b1 is set to be max 1 mm, however, W and W1 is calculated to be only 0.93, why not &gt;=1?<div><br><div><img src="uploads/10290/1.png" height="340" width="342" border="0" /><br></div><div><br></div><div><img src="uploads/10290/2.png" height="294" width="338" border="0" /><br></div></div>]]>
