Free Land Pattern Calculator Offered Print E-mail
Written by Tracy Heffner   
Monday, 19 February 2007
DES PLAINES, ILPCB Libraries Inc. has released a free IPC-7351 land pattern calculator that reportedly generates results that perfectly match the LP Viewer library documentation.

The calculator is a scaled down version of the LP Wizard. It calculates CAD library parts that comply with the latest IPC-7351 revision. It relies on the data underlying the IPC standard, which includes fabrication, assembly and component tolerance-based mathematical algorithms.

IPC-7351 uses calculations that represent a change in the way land patterns are defined, developed and categorized. It is published by IPC, Association Connecting Electronics Industries.
 
“We’re pleased to be working with IPC in a unified effort to provide PCB designers worldwide with access to our IPC-7351 CAD libraries and LP Software tools," said Tom Hausherr, CEO and director of technology at PCB Libraries Inc.
