Hello everyone:
I am making a track to measure current. To do this i am using one of the newest resistors of “0612 side”. The problem is that the track exceed the pad on the front side.
Yo can see in the attache image the green colored part. Please ignore the blue track, is a work in progress.
For the moment i put a box or a smaller track or etc, but i fill that is not the right behavior of usage. If exist some function to edit the track ending will be appreciated.
Thanks you
Christian
That is a bit of a problem . . . one possible work around, use the footprint you current have as a starting point and make custom version of it where the pads are wider, more square, that will make it much easier to fit your wide tracks.
here you either need to use a polygon as it was written above, or think about why you need such a large track width, resistor 0612 usually has a power of 1 watt, even if you use a voltage of 1.8 volts, the current will be about 0.5 Amperes, 0.5 amperes, and even on a foil of 18 microns it is a 0.3 mm wide track, let it be with a margin and you can take a 0.5/0.6 mm wide track
