There are couple things that might lead to a negative paste mask value The b dimension seems pretty small. Are you sure it's 0.08 mm? I checked a few comparable datasheets and the terminal width is typically 0.17 - 0.27. This small dimension with a small side protrusion goal and a shrink on the solder mask could add up to a negative. ------------- Stay connected - follow us! https://twitter.com/PCBLibraries" rel="nofollow - Twitter - http://www.linkedin.com/company/pcb-libraries-inc-/" rel="nofollow - LinkedIn |
