Hi,

this is very beginner question, but I can't find answer. I'm trying to create my first PCB. I have to create my own PCB component. It is in 16-pins Small Outline Package. Here are dimensions in millimeters from datasheet: .

I use component wizard and I'm not sure what size of pads I should set. From the datasheet it looks like pin width is between 0.31 and 0.51 mm, length is about 1.05(?) mm. Is it correct? And what is the practice for pad size? I suppose it should be a bit bigger (I will create this PCB in home), but how much?

Best regards,
Tim
