Zuken and PCB Libraries Inc. have launched a CADSTAR-compatible land pattern generator, IPC-7351A LP Wizard. The tool reportedly reduces the time it takes to build library parts and ensures compatibility with the latest IPC standard for surface-mount design.
The tool consists of land pattern viewers, calculators and generators
for the creation of CAD land patterns in SMT parts libraries. The time to build a standard SMT library part (previously on average 30 min.) has been reduced. The generated library parts comply with the latest land pattern and surface-mount design requirements as defined by the IPC. Using data based on the IPC-7351 Land Pattern Standard, users can generate accurate manufacturing compliant PCBs while cutting costs.
The LP Wizard dovetails with the free library documentation and the Viewer, both provided by the IPC with the needed standard. The data entered by a PCB designer can also be shared with engineers throughout the organization with the Viewer on a project by project basis.
Available for purchase direct from PCB Libraries; all licenses come with one year of maintenance; pcblibraries.com/store/detail.aspx?ID=54

LeadCheck swabs (2515-N) are a fast method of testing components and solder joints for lead solder. Incoming components and boards, in addition to existing inventories, can be checked for RoHS compliance. This avoids mixed lead and Pb-free inventories, lead contamination in RoHS compliant work areas and potential penalties for shipping noncompliant products. Swab kits are packaged in eight-packs so every station can be equipped to prevent lead contamination from incoming and in-stock boards and components.
All Techspray branded products are RoHS compliant.
