Looking at the diffused LED for a edge-lighting solution for some gauges on the flight simulator I am designing. I intend to PCB mount them, but the lead spacing and width on the diagram is a tad confusing. It appears there are missing dimensions to be able to fully define the PCB footprint. Would someone be willing to explain it a little better?

Thanks for posting, according to the product page:
but I'll see if there is any more info.We don't have a datasheet for the LEDs themselves yet, see the photos above for the pinouts.
The leads are flexible. The spacing starts at 1.1mm (0.04") but we were able to bend them as needed.

EDIT: If you can't dig anything more up, I'll just buy a set and break out the calipers and send you an updated drawing and MCAD model.
