External Names

external-names is an optional field in a pcb-landpattern to allow us to match the land pattern with parts found at component vendors.

Syntax

external-names = (["0402"])
external-names = (["0402" "0402-01005"])

Description

  • external-names = (["0402"]) Indicate this land pattern matches "0402"-sized SMD components
  • external-names = (["0402" "0402-01005"]) Indicate this land pattern matches "0402" and "0402-01005"-sized SMD components. Each additional string is another alias.
