(released 05/2023)

Footprint Expert’s automatic padstack calculations are fundamentally based on IPC-735x formulas and geometry rules. This is the core standard Footprint Expert uses. It defines:

Land Pattern Naming Conventions for Surface Mount and Through-hole
Mathematical Model formula for pad stack dimensions
3-Tier Density levels for Least, Nominal and Most
Courtyard Excess toe, heel, and side goals
IPC-compliant footprint generation rules
