Zig-Zag pattern issues 3.x~4.x

#1 Post by KevinA » 18 Mar 2020, 08:04

I had to create a pattern for Sullins NPPN101BFLC-RC SMD 10 pin 2mm pitch connector, the Zig-Zag style seemed to work but the pad spacing is half of what was needed.

The Pattern Template tool's Pad Spacing setting refers to the pads that exist on the same line. It looks like your pattern should be vertically flipped for the BFLC.

I finally finished the part, had to draw the 3D image since for some reason there is not a SMD HDRF 2mm X 10 position image anywhere I could find. The vendor provided an image of his product, Cellular modem:
