Molded Body - Cap, Polarized Calculations

Message Topic Search Topic Options Post Reply Create New Topic Printable Version Translate Topic

   Hi,

Is there perhaps a setting I need to fix in the calculator when using it out of the box for Molded Body - Capacitor, Polarized?
The toe and heel results are not what I'm expecting to see based on the settings defined.

Since I can't upload images, here's what the settings were:

Component dimensions filled in were (mm):
A = 2.00 max
b = 2.20 +/-0.2
D = 3.50 +/-0.2
E = 2.80 +/-0.2
L = 0.80 +/-0.3

Terminal Density Level
Inward Flat Ribbon L-Lead. Height > 1.20, <= 2.20 mm
Density Level = Nominal
Toe = 0.05 mm
Heel = 0.45 mm
Side = 0.00 mm

Calculator results are:
G = 1.33 mm
X = 1.63 mm
Y = 2.40 mm

This results in a toe of 0.088mm (I was expecting 0.05mm) and a heel of 0.442mm (I was expecting 0.45mm).

These results are from Footprint Expert 26 (26.10, 10/30/2026).

Thanks,
Cindy
