I have had to look at some TO-220 (Vertical) recently, and had a look at what PCB Footprint Expert recommended for this device, it seems that PCB Footprint Expert recommends the pins formed from the body different that we get from the factory. 1 3 5 2 4 But we get from the factory already formed as:- 2 4 1 3 5 I have had a look at as many producers as I could find for this kind of device but could not find one that was showing like PCB Footprint Expert recommends. Any comments? Thanks as ever! |

Just swap the values for 'D' and 'D1'. You can do the same thing in the horizontal TO-220 by making 'd' a negative value
