There are two standards—the #IPC-2221 and #IPC-7251—that contain guidelines for through-hole elements in a design. The #IPC-2221 is a generic standard that covers electrical and manufacturing requirements for a PCB. Section 9 of the #IPC-2221 is dedicated to holes and interconnection, which serves as a good reference for #PTH design. #IPC-2221 provides detailed guidelines on the minimum #annular ring size, land requirements, #location tolerance, and other relevant requirements for through-hole designs. The document also provides images as examples of how the holes ought to be drilled and fabricated. #IPC-2221 is supplemented by the #IPC-2222 document, which contains standards on rigid organic printed boards. #IPC-2222 contains guidelines for calculating hole size based on density level. You can also find more detailed guidelines in the #IPC-7251 document. IPC-7251 is a dedicated standard for through-hole design and land patterns. It contains more specific guidelines, such as component tolerance for various types of through-hole leads, joint tolerance, and footprint dimensioning of the components. #ipc specifications for Automotive #plated through hole via #annular ring #via platting thickness #IPC classes

0:00 How to write String Text in Layout Polygon. 2:30 How to define a Design rule for Polygon Text. A #string is a primitive design object. It places #text on the selected layer in a variety of display styles and formats including popular barcoding standards. It can be user-defined text or a special type of #string, referred to as a special #string that can be used to display board or system information or the value of user parameters on the board. Strings are available for placement in both PCB and PCB Library Editors. Use one of the following methods to place a string: Choose Place » #string from the main menus. Click the String button () in the drop-down on the Active Bar located at the top of the design space. (Click and hold an Active Bar button to access other related commands. Once a command has been used, it will become the topmost item on that section of the Active Bar). Right-click in the design space then choose the Place » String command from the context menu. #Designrule #altiumdesigner #Altium #PCBdesign #Designrules #PCB Rules #customquery in Altium Designer PCB #custom query Text #istext #inpolygon

How to Create Symbol and footprint for Fiducial Marker in Altium link. https://youtu.be/UUdDyiXVYkA Fiducials marker: Aside from component placement, a #fiducial marker can be placed on panelized PCBs to indicate the correct orientation of a panel. If you are manufacturing a rectangular board, #fiducial markers should be placed at opposite corners of the board, as well as at opposite corners of the panel. This allows a pick-and-place machine or other assembly machinery to determine if the panel was loaded in the correct orientation. The IPC standards require that you place three #fiducials on your panel, with one at each corner of the panel. This allows a pick-and-place machine to distinguish the entire panel from an individual board. This also allows a pick-and-place machine to identify whether a panel has been mistakenly rotated. #Fiducials can also be used to check the length of a PCB during manufacturing. The dimensions of a PCB will vary slightly, and these variations accumulate in larger boards. The diagonal or lateral distance between two fiducials can be measured with a vision system and checked against allowed tolerances. This allows a pick-and-place machine or other assembly machinery to reject a board that does not fit within the allowed tolerances. If you are working with a board that has surface-mount components on both sides of the board, then you will need to place fiducials on both sides of the board. This allows assembly machinery to locate the proper reference on both sides of the board. The same applies to a panelized board. The size of the fiducial markers you should place on a board depends on the capabilities of the assembly machinery. Again, check with your manufacturer for their requirements. #Component #classes in #altiumdesigner #Designrule #altiumdesigner #componentclasses #Altium #PCBdesign #Designrules #PCB Rules #customquery in Altium Designer PCB #FuducialsMarkerClass #custom query Fuducials Marker

0 0 Beginner

#IntegratedLibraries #integrated #Libraries reflect #altiumdesigner Integrated Component model. In this model, the higher-level component is modeled within the #schematic #symbol in a #schematic #library file. Other models are linked from the #symbol and component parameters are added to the #symbol. All source #libraries – #symbol and linked #models – are defined within an Integrated Library Package project, which is subsequently compiled into a single file – an #Integrated #Library, or IntLib. there are essentially four steps to creating an #integrated #library 1) Create a source #library #package. 2) Create and add the required source #schematic #library file(s). 3) Create and add (or point to) the required domain #model file(s). 4) Compile the library package to produce the #integrated #library file. Specifying Where to Find the Models With the model files defined, they now need to be made available to the library package, so that they can easily be located when required – remember, the models are referenced by (or linked to) the schematic components. Altium Designer has a standard system for making models available, regardless of whether you are building an integrated library package, or working on a schematic design. There are three ways of making models available: 1. Adding the library/model to the project. 2. Installing the library/model in the Installed Library list. Here, it will be available to all design projects. 3. Defining a search path to the library/model. #Available #File-based #Libraries in #altiumdesigner #File-Based Libraries #Altium #PCBdesign

The requirements of various fields of application, in particular the automotive industry, were taken into account in the design layout. The performance profile makes this series particularly suitable for applications in the areas of LED lighting and displays contacting. It is also suitable for applications such as contacting sensors and actuators. The contact layout guarantees electrically and mechanically stable contacting between the contact and the wires with a cross-section of 0.22 mm² and 0.35 mm². Protection against mismating by means of polarising elements and mechanical locks against contact damage when misplacing ensures the quality of the connection in handling and in the application. In addition, the automatic processing of the connectors ensures high-quality standards throughout the entire production process.

#Design #Variants in #altiumdesigner 21 #Variant #Management #Dialog in #altiumdesigner 21 The Variant Management dialog can be accessed in the following ways: Click Project » #Variants from the main menu of any document in the project. In the Projects panel, right-click on the project name then select #Variants. In the Schematic Editor, right-click on a placed component then select Part Actions » #Variants. The #Variant #Management dialog enables you to add and configure variants of the main PCB board design. Variants are variations of the main PCB board design and by using variants, any number of variations of the base design can be designed. Each component in the base design can be configured to be: #fitted – the default setting when a new variant is created. #Not Fitted – the original component as used in the base design is not fitted/used in this variant of that design. # Fitted with #modified component parameters, such as the component's value. Alternate Part – completely replacing one component with another. #Variants that use any of these types of variations are all referred to as #assembly #Variants since they only impact the #assembly process. All #variants share the same fabricated base board. #Altium #PCBdesign

#Altium #Designer #Project #parameters This tab of the #Project #Options dialog enables you to manage #parameters defined for the project, often referred to as project-level parameters. #Parameters defined at the project level are available for use across all schematic sheets and PCB documents in the project through the use of special strings: #=ProjectParameterName on a schematic (e.g., =Project) and# .ProjectParameterName on a PCB (e.g., .Project). Parameters can be used to provide additional design information. #Project-level #parameters, for example, can be used in a global fashion as the source for special string parametric data to be added to schematic sheets and/or the PCB document – the latter of which does not support localized parameters. Server-side project parameters are saved in the Workspace with the project and can only be edited within the Workspace. By contrast, design-side project parameters are saved in the project file (*.PrjPcb), and can be edited in Altium Designer. Server-side project parameters appear in the Parameter tab of the Project Options dialog with a blue icon (), while design-side project parameters appear with an orange icon (). #Altium Project Parameter Options #Altium #PCBdesign

#Adding #Parameters to #Multiple #Components in #altiumdesigner #integrated #library #Parameter #table #editor #altiumdesigner designer #components #parameters Adding Parameters to Multiple Components in integrated Library Altium Designer Parameters are a key element of each component, and it is common for many of the parameters to be used across multiple components. As well as adding them individually to each component, you can also use the Parameter Manager command (Tools » Parameter Manager) to add them to multiple components. As well as adding or removing parameters, the values of parameters can also be edited across multiple components. Notes about editing multiple parameters: 1. Parameters can be edited across the components in a library or across components used in a schematic design using the same process. Select Tools » Parameter Manager in either the schematic or schematic library editor to start the process. 2. Because parameters can be added to a variety of different objects, the first step is to select in which object types the parameters are to be edited in the Parameter Editor Options dialog. 3. Parameter editing is performed in the Parameter Table Editor dialog. The dialog can be accessed in different ways, so the dialog caption can change. The way you work in the dialog is the same regardless of how it was accessed: use the standard Windows selection keystrokes to select the cells of interest then right-click and choose an edit action. 4. Changes are not performed immediately; they are done via an Engineering Change Order (ECO). 5. Each cell that is being changed is marked by a small colored icon. Refer to the Parameter Table Editor dialog page for a description of each icon. #Altium #PCBdesign

These rules collectively form an 'instruction set' for the PCB Editor to follow. They cover every aspect of the design - from routing widths, clearances, plane connection styles, routing via styles, and so on - and many of the rules can be monitored in real time by the online Design Rule Checker (DRC). #design rules target specific objects and are applied in a hierarchical fashion. Multiple rules of the same type can be set up. It may arise that a design object is covered by more than one rule with the same scope. In this instance, a contention exists. All contentions are resolved by a priority setting. The system goes through the rules from highest to lowest priority and picks the first one whose scope(s) match the object(s) being checked. With a well-defined set of #design rules, you can successfully complete board designs with varying and often stringent design requirements. And as the PCB Editor is rules-driven, taking the time to set up the #rules at the outset of the design will enable you to effectively get on with the job of designing, safe in the knowledge that the rules system is working hard to ensure that success. #Altium #PCBdesign #Designrules #PCB Rules
