Classification by Component Side

Depending on the value of ERF variable v_classify_by_leaded_side, results can be classified either by whether the side of the component involved in the measurement is narrow or wide, or by whether the side has leads.
If v_classify_by_leaded_sides = 0, a side classification of n or w indicates whether the side of the component involved in the measurement is the narrow side (n) or the wide side (w).

If v_classify_by_leaded_sides = 1, a side classification of n or w indicates whether the side of the component involved in the measurement is the non-leaded side (n) or the leaded side (w).

Components can be leaded on all sides. Whether component pins extend from the body or are covered by it does not change leaded or non-leaded classification.

Consider this line in the ERF: SMT:c2c;tab_qfp_nn = 4 6 8

  • If v_classify_by_leaded_sides = 0, the red value for narrow side to narrow side is 4.

  • If v_classify_by_leaded_sides = 1, the red value for unleaded side to unleaded side is 4.
