Prefix Field Description Notes
BBody dimensions
  • Body size (XxYxZ)
  • Height parameter Z may be omitted
  • Prefix B may be omitted if the body size is the major dimension used to define the footprint
DDiameter
  • Diameter of major axis for cylindrical component
  • e.g. D10mm - 10mm diameter
HHeight
  • Height of component measured from PCB
  • Body size B should be used in preference, where possible
  • e.g. H1.1mm - component measures 1.1mm above PCB
LLength
  • Length along major axis of component
  • Body size B should be used in preference, where possible
  • e.g. L15.3mm - 15mm length
WWidth
  • Width along minor axis of component
  • Body size B should be used in preference, where possible
  • e.g. W4.75mm - 4.75mm width
EPExposed pad dimensions
  • Packages that include a single exposed pad include the size of this pad. e.g. EP2.4x3.6mm - for a single 2.4mm x 3.6mm pad.
PPad pitch
  • Pitch (distance) between pins, pads or leads
  • e.g. P0.63mm - 0.63mm pitch between pads
TThicknessComponent thickness, where appropriate
