> Google "to-220 lead bending radius" found a good International Rectifier > application note: http://www.irf.com/technical-info/appnotes/an-1031.pdf > So it would work out to 1.2mm, which is on the safe side. Done that without needing to modify the footprint. The "stopper" tabs on the leads are bent just a little bit, but that is acceptable according to both the application note you pointed out, and the Sharp datasheet. > Also bent stress relief vertical option might be nice, but that may add too > many varables. > IMHO, there are too many possibilities to be all-inclusive here. Anyone experienced enough to need something that advanced on such an exotic component, is probably experienced enough to edit the footprint on-the-fly, according to the configuration he or she deems appropriate for the respective board. > Now that you said it I had to check M3 nut max width and it says 6.4mm. > So maybe 6.5mm is big enough with tolerances. Please don't get mad at me ;) > I've made them 6.8 (6.4 nut diameter + 0.2 tolerance from the hole (M3 in 3.2mm hole) + 0.2 safety margin). >> I've also created a branch in Kicad-Newlib here: >> https://code.launchpad.net/~mr-nuke-me/kicad-newlib/footprints_misc >> I'll submit the footprints there once I figure out how to use bzr; and >> I'll just ping here. > > Great to see you getting along :) > I've pushed all the latest changes there already. Feel free to grab them. I feel that, except for the coloring problem, the packages are ready.
