Charliem, Thank you for the input. Following this logic, in case if there are no soldering issues, pad coverage and voiding levels are within acceptable limits and a gap between BTC and pad let us say 200um, this could be accepted, right? IPC-A-61

There is no industry standard for BTC stand-off height. "IPC-7093A Design and Assembly Process Implementation for Bottom Termination SMT (BTC) Components" just finished "Final Draft for Industry Review" in December 2018. It mentions stand-off height

Hi, Below may help you out. per IPC 7093 ( Design and assembly Process Implementation for Bottom Termination Components ),Clause 6.1.5.3 voids on thermal pad up to 50% does not result in loss of thermal performance. Since the void criteria is

Adding to Rob's suggestions ... One of the theories about voiding in thermal / ground pads of BTC is: Solder starts melting at the edge of the pad and moves inward towards the center of the solder mass. This traps flux volatilizes. So, there needs t

Have you ever heard of "Solder Mask Defined Thermal Pads"? I wrote a short blurb on this here - https://www.pcblibraries.com/forum/ipc7093a-btc-qfn-solder-mask-defined-thermal-pad_topic2154.html This technology saves fabrication costs by not havi

You can reduce and almost eliminate voids and other paste related defects in LGA's BGA's, QFN's etc, by using solid solder deposit. Its been around for 24 years, 13 in the US. It is now included in the new IPC 7093 specification for bottom terminat

Hello. Since a DFN is a BTC component, an end fillet height is not required on IPC 610 since most of these components did not have a wettable surface on the sides. A cross section in a non-touched up sample could be performed to validate the solder

In the IPC-A-610E standard QFNs are classified as BTC (bottom termination components). Most QFNs do not have a solder-able surface on the outside of the part. Usually the lead that you can see on the outside is copper and classified is not solder-a
