In the beginning, there was TO-5. And it was good. Flushed with success, they created TO-220. It too was good. Then came SMT. It was better than some things, but then again ... In these early days, there was a haze on the horizon that blocked t

I have a customer want to add an SMD coil to the board, which they used to hand soldering all the time. I want to know is there footprint/land pattern size that I should follow? Any recommendation?

we have some problems in soldering joints such as insufficient solder and misalignment on some RC0402 and CC0402,i don't have a pic here. our SMT enginner doubts the PCB land pattern is at the fault.here is what we measured results.pad length:0.9mm,

Hi All -- I'm about to design a DPAK part (case 369A-13, Issue Z)onto a PCB . The part's maximum length as given in the datasheets (On-Semi MAC4DHM) is 0.030" longer than the recommended land pattern as given in that same datasheet. (1) Has anybod

I would go with wire thickness + 0.4 to 0.8 mm for pad width, and pre-tinned lenght + 0.5mm what seems to me like problem is that it can easily roll off the pads in reflow oven

Our land patterns are slightly bigger than the part, we've had no problems. There are your own concerns about the part hanging over the pads, this can be ok or not depending on your application and/or how much part is over. I'm sure this is in the J-

Hi Dave, Thanks for the suggestions. To clarify a couple of the points... - What do you qualify as "small" & "large" parts? - Do not make the pad narrower than the lead width. The nominal or the maximum? If I use the maximum width I'll be back to s
