DIP Annular Ring

Check the DIP type pad size ratio against the hole size.

Narrow distance from the outer hole to the pad edge may result in a shortage of solder or an electrical spark while operating.

The DIP Annular Ring dialog contains the following sections:
  • Component DIP Annual Ring Size Checking: Check DIP type pads annual ring size.
    • Layer Definition: Select the layer.
      • Target Layer Component's Placed Layer: Select the pin location layer.
        • All
        • Top
        • Bottom
      • Target Layer: Select the target layer.
        • Top
        • Bottom
        • Inner
    • Checking Table: To check the annual ring size, complete each row.
      • Item: Set item name.
      • Comp Group: Double-click the column, after launching the component group selection dialog box, select the target component group.
      • Target: Select the target annular ring as either Pad or Solder Mask.
      • Hole Type: Select the All or DIP Type Hole(PTH) or DIP Type Slot Hole(PTH).
      • Check Type: To check Annual Ring size, use minimum annual ring size or the pad ratio to hole. After using Hole/Pad Ratio (%), the unit will be a percentage (%).
      • Default Value: Depending on the Check Type, set the value.
      • Inner Layer Value: Set the Annular Ring value for the inner layer Pad.
      • Opposite Side Value: Set the Annular Ring value for the pad that is placed on the opposite side of the component.
      • Pad Existence: Check missing pads on all layers of DIP-type holes.
    • Not Defined Component Group: For the components that are undefined, set another checking rule for them similar to the checking table.
    • Exclude Pins, having Specified Hole Size: Among specified components, exclude checking for component pins that have a specified hole-size range. Use size range input tools.
    • Exclude Checking for NC Pin: This is a void-checking option for NC (Non-Connection) pins.
  • NTH Via and Overlapping Pad’s Size Checking: If SMD components pad and non-through holes are overlapped, gap between hole and pad should be reserved.

    • Target Component Group: Select the target component group from the list.
    • Minimum Gap between Via hole and Pad: Set the minimum distance value between component pad and NTH Via.
  • Non-functional Inner layer Pads: Verification of presence of non-functional pad (Pad not connected to pattern or plane in inner layer) in inner layer. If non-functional Pad exists, it is fail.
    • Target Component Group: Select the target component group from the list.
    • Exclude checking for specific Padstacks: Through String Filter, specific Padstacks are excluded from verification.
      • Import(.txt): Apply Filter Type based on the characters entered in the .txt file.
        • Apply as a prefix when (|F|) ABC is entered in the .txt file.
        • Apply as a mid-string when ABC is entered in the .txt file.
        • Apply as a suffix when ABC(|P|) is entered in the .txt file.
      • Export(.txt): Export the characters registered in the String Item in .txt file format.
