DIN specific resistor size

rmoggia · February 4, 2021, 10:19pm

Hi.
In the footprint of the THT resistors, there are specified 3 measures. For example:
Resistor_THT: R_Axial_DIN0204_L3.6mm_D1.6mm_P5.08mm_Horizontal. L means length, D means diameter and P, what is it?
Thanks

That would be pitch. I.e. the distance from hole center to hole center. (The length is the body length.)

And P is always much bigger than L as leads should not be bent too close to the body. You used to be able to buy THT resistor pre-formed ie bent if you wanted.
