Hi all:
 
I cannot find IPC-7251 in IPC website, it haven't released?
What is the standard for through hole land calculation in Library Expert?
 
Thanks in advance.

The IPC Land Pattern committee decided a year ago to merge IPC-7251 for through-hole into the new IPC-7351C.

Thank you very much. I have other questions below:
 
The calculation formula below for pad diameter is different with IPC-2221B 9.1.1, how to set "pad to hole ratio" and "minimum annular ring"?
 
The calculation of pad diameter in IPC-7351C will not consider "Standard fabrication allowance" which in IPC-2221B Table 9.1, right?

Set all the Through-hole user preferences -

Preferences > Terminals > Through-hole

The current default settings are from IPC-2221 but will also be in IPC-7351C.

Thanks, but I still confused on below two calculation method for a pad:
 
IPC-2221B calculation formula is:
Land size, minimum = Hole size + 2*Min. annular ring(Min 0.05mm) + fabrication allowance
 
IPC-7351C calculation formula will be:
Pad diameter = Hole size + 2*Min. annular ring(Min 0.2mm), or = Hole size * pad-to-hole-ratio, whichever is larger.
 
But calculated result will be different between above two calculation method, IPC-7351C defined a proportional annular ring, IPC-2221B defined same size annular ring even though hole size go up, right?
 
This is for minimum pad design, the annular ring seems smaller than normal, is there suggestion for normal pad size?

Library Expert only uses "Hole Over Lead" from IPC. Everything else uses the PTH Reference Calculator located here -
