The height is the axial lead body length plus the lead bend radius. That is suggesting that you're going to mount the body flush with the PCB surface. ------------- Stay connected - follow us! https://twitter.com/PCBLibraries" rel="nofollow - X - http://www.linkedin.com/company/pcb-libraries-inc-/" rel="nofollow - LinkedIn |

The pin pitch is 50% of the axial lead body round up to the nearest 1 mm or 0.1" grid (depending on if you design in millimeters or mil units. The total Height is the body plus the lead bend. Get a axial lead part and bend the lead how you want it and measure it. The Pin Pitch: Here is a screenshot from FP Designer and the grid display is 1 mm so the pin pitch = 3 mm  ------------- Stay connected - follow us! https://twitter.com/PCBLibraries" rel="nofollow - X - http://www.linkedin.com/company/pcb-libraries-inc-/" rel="nofollow - LinkedIn |
