Hello Tom, There is a dimension "Amax" indicated in below principles of IPC-7351B, see below picture. But it seems there is no drawing to define which size is for "Amax". Could you please help on this question? Thanks

I cann't find dimension "A" mentioned above in SMD reference calculator. It seems only for chip component.
Could you tell me which size is for the dimension "A" ?
Thanks.

Sorry for the late reply especially for such a simple question, it's been really busy lately.
