DES PLAINES, IL –
PCB Libraries Inc.
has released a free IPC-7351 land pattern calculator that reportedly
generates results that match the LP Viewer library
documentation.
The calculator is a scaled down version of
the LP Wizard. It calculates CAD library parts that comply with the
latest IPC-7351 revision. It relies on the data underlying the IPC
standard, which includes fabrication, assembly and component
tolerance-based mathematical algorithms.
IPC-7351 uses
calculations that represent a change in the way land patterns are
defined, developed and categorized. It is published by IPC, Association
Connecting Electronics Industries.
“We’re pleased to be
working with IPC in a unified effort to provide PCB designers worldwide
with access to our IPC-7351 CAD libraries and LP Software tools," said
Tom Hausherr, CEO and director of technology at PCB Libraries.
