QFN Pad Calculation Problem

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

   Hi,
when I try to generate a QFN with Version 2018.02 the Pads are to small, see picture. I also add the fpx to this post. uploads/870/QFN_error.fpx When I make D2 shorter (0.8mm) then the footprint looks good. Looks like the calculation takes the removed Pins also in it or something else is wrong.

	The problem here is that you are using the QFN (Quad Flat No-Lead) component family to create a SON w/Tab (Small Outline No-Lead) footprint. Try using the SON with Tab and you'll get perfect results. There is no bugs or issues with V2018 Library Expert.
