For through hole headers, I cannot set the lead shape to rectangle. This option is available in the 'Padstack Calculator' but not in the Through-Hole 'Component Type = Header' calculator.
For now you have to play with the drill size for square or round pin until you get the drill/pad that the 'Padstack calculator' has calculated for the rectangle pin, or modify the pads/pins in Designer. Like, the Samtec SSW series of headers that have a rectangular pin of 0.41x0.79mm

Use FP Designer to create Rectangular pads for through-hole footprints.
Most SAMTEC connectors and Headers and created in FP Designer. Are you using www.pcblibraries.com/POD ? There are thousands of free connectors there, most created in FP Designer. Also, Footprint Expert comes with a Connectors library and they are all created in FP Designer. |
