Lots of times the suppliers define pin on with a mark on the part molding. Often, they define their approach on their data sheet.

Lets be clear: * Capabilities of a test machine is defined by the equipment manufacturer. * Capabilities of test machine specific software is defined by the equipment manufacturer. * Coverage of the unique testhead is defined by the end-user that pur

Peter: Most of the stuff you read on BGA was purloined from a single document written by Motorola. Amoung the things it discusses are solder mask defined and nonsolder mask defined pads. Check it out:

Does anybody have any information regarding the plus's and minus's of both copper and solder resist defined lands?

Is there a Standard/Guidelines that (or which IPC guidelines) defines the pad edge-pad edge clearance for Various via hole and component land sizes. Also defining why Vias shouldn't be placed under discrete components.

We believe that it's perfectly resonable for you to define the cleanliness that you require. We recommend that you leave it at that and not define the process or materials that your supplier use in meeting that cleanliness level. Start with a dirty

If at all possible, you definately want solder mask defined pads. Without it, you will struggle with solder bridging. This is especially important if you have a larger size board.

Chris: Whatever way you decide to define your pads, use the same type on the component and the board. Non-solder mask defined pad advantages: � No point-of-stress concentration at edge mask and solder ball � No CTE mismatch at edge mask and solder
