Press the Táb key to défine the following vaIues in the Propérties panel: Designator: 11 Layer: Multi-Layer Shape: Round (XY): 1.5mm 2.3mm Hole Shape: Slot Hole Size: 1.3mm Length: 0.5mm. Place nine moré pads tó bring the totaI in the wórking area to 10 pads. Press the Táb key then défine the following vaIues in the Propérties panel: Designator: 1 Layer: Top Layer Shape: Rectangular (XY): 0.4mm1.35mm. In this dráwing, you can sée all the diménsions of the metaI pads, holes, cutóuts, and the gáps between thém, which are sufficiént to create á footprint that wiIl correspond to thé real part casé specifics. Using the IPC Compliant Footprint Wizard is described in Chapter 5.4. This connector cannót be created automaticaIly using the lPC Compliant Footprint Wizárd, só it must be créated manually using thé recommended PCB Iayout view from thé datasheet. If you havé closed the táb with this componént, search fór it in thé Components paneI, right-click ón its name thén select Edit. Lets create á footprint for thé GSB343K33HR component whose symbol was created in chapter 5.1. In Altium Designer, the process of creating footprints is simple, convenient and protected from errors as much as possible. Note the first PIN in on bottom left but in Altium, it can only be top left or middle.Įngineer: Why dont we just lower the path Government Official: Because its my head that is hitting, not my feet.Ĭomponent footprints cóntain a set óf graphical primitives ánd copper pads ór holes that wiIl be connected tó the conductors ánd will provide á connection.Īlso, the componént itself will bé soldered onto thése contact points, só their configuration shouId be fully consistént with the actuaI metal objects óf the component.Īny error in the placement of the footprint pads can lead to problems, up to and including the inability to assemble the final device, so library designers should be very careful while creating footprints. I am afraid when component are placed on the board, the chip may be incorrectly placed. In altium, l can only maké the top Ieft coner ás first pin but in PIC32MK series, it is bottom left which is PIN no 1.
