Which surface mount part do I use best for a trimmer from Copal? I did not find a part that fits. Datasheet is http://www.pcblibraries.com/forum/uploads/10602/Copal_Trimmer_ST32.pdf" rel="nofollow - uploads/10602/Copal_Trimmer_ST32.pdfBest Regards,

You would use FP Designer and it will take you about 5 minutes from start to finish. ------------- Stay connected - follow us! https://twitter.com/PCBLibraries" rel="nofollow - X - http://www.linkedin.com/company/pcb-libraries-inc-/" rel="nofollow - LinkedIn |

| As I understood does the FP designer not calculate the best pad sizes and positions. |

The component manufacturer provided great pad stacks and positions for these 3-pin parts. The Footprint Name would be - COPAL_ST32 ------------- Stay connected - follow us! https://twitter.com/PCBLibraries" rel="nofollow - X - http://www.linkedin.com/company/pcb-libraries-inc-/" rel="nofollow - LinkedIn |
