The footprint shown looks good. But when I download the footprint and place the component, the pads seem to overlap in Fusion 360 PCB.

Hello Fdunlop,
Thank you for reaching out. This is a legacy model from 2016—you can confirm the date on the banner in the top-right corner of the part page.
We will review the pad sizes and locations again and get back to you with our findings as soon as possible.
In the meantime, please let me know if you have any questions.
Best Regards,

Hello Fdunlop,
Thank you for bringing this to our attention. A quick update on the issue you reported, our team has successfully replicated the pad-overlap issue in Fusion 360 PCB, even though the pads display correctly in the Fusion 360 Footprint Viewer. We also updated the legacy 2016 library on site and retested, but the problem remains.
Please rest assured that we are investigating the root cause and will provide you with an update as soon as we have more information.
Best Regards

Hello Fdunlop,
Thanks for reporting the pad overlap. This happens because Fusion360’s default annular ring is set to 25%, which enlarges each PTH pad and causes them to overlap. To fix it:
-Open your PCB settings in Fusion360.
-Change the annular ring min and max values from 25% down to around 10%.
-You’ll see the pad diameters shrink and the overlap disappear.
Please refer to these two images for more clarification here:
