Our Biggest Productivity Booster for PowerPCB Inch Library Users...

Of all our products, customers tell us that this is the one that makes the biggest difference in their productivity...the Land Pattern Handbook. It's a full color handbook with all our standard PCBstandard's land patterns (nominal size) printed on extra heavy paper with 1:1 images. It makes visual parts verification quick, easy and accurate. Plus there's a full set of dimensions in tabular form so you can quickly verify the correct library part per your manufacturer spec or data sheet. Click here to order the handbook.
