| Hi, | Somebody know how to calculate the size of pads for different IC's: QFP's, SOIC, SOJ, etc. | | any help is apreciated. | | thanks | | AC | Al: Justin's comments are well taken. Who should know better about pad sizes that the component manufacturer?
Additionally, you might consider IPC-SM-782 as a starting point for basic components. Further, IPC (www.ipc.org) has a pad calculator at their site. Finally, the folks at SMTnet often have experience with specific components.
