Valor® Parts Library (VPL)
The Valor Parts Library (VPL) provides accurate physical models of electronic components and connectors used in PCB manufacturing, test and assembly, delivered in a consistent, CAD/CAM-friendly format.
Accurate physical models of each BOM component
The VPL contains more than 35 million commercial electronic component part numbers, including the dimensioned package model for each part. Package names are based on the recognized JEDEC JES-D 30B standard. Each package model contains the following attributes and much more:
- Accurate graphical contour
- Pin contact areas and positions
- Dimensional tolerances
- Overall dimensions including height
- Pin 1 identification
Use the VPL data to ensure that DFM analysis is based on actual "as built" precision of component spacing and component pin-to-pad contact area. Other applications of VPL data include using the height attribute of components in the product BOM to ensure that production tooling dimensions are correct and that the assembled PCB will fit into chassis configurations as intended.
