Hi there,

for some SOP packages FPX produces weird looking STEP models, e. g. for Nexperia 74HCT2G125DP,125. See attached file.

Regards

This is because the calculation for the terminal leads is too tight. 

The difference between the He and E dimensions is only 1 mm or 0.5 mm on each side. 

The L dimension is 0.5. 

If you include the nominal c dimension 0f 0.15 for the metal thickness and the bend radius of the terminal lead, there's not enough room to calculate a proper terminal lead. 

This Nexperia package is unique. 

A normal SOP the difference between He and E is greater than 1.5 mm and the terminal leads will come out proper.
