| | | I am in the process of picking a new resistor network for one of our new board. Since we are new to SMT i would like to get some opinions on networks. Currently we use one molded gullwing type network on our boards with no problems. Other than

Toe down solution: * Land pattern design * Solder stencil design * Proper component fabrication Normal gull wing lead solder requirement: Solder must extend to the mid-point of the outside of the lead bend.

Thanks davef! We found some SOIC & QFP with all leads having toe down problem. The heel fillet unable extend to the mid point outside bend. Do you have solutions for the problem? I have a question: How about the normal gull wing lead which is flat &

IPC also states that side overhang on a gull wing of 50% is acceptable for Class 2. Does anyone know if that interprets to only one side having a fillet? Also with toe overhang acceptable, there need not be a toe fillet.

Oh boy, I prefer the fillet at heel of course, the toe you can�t trust. The solderable finish of the leads is applied and than the leads are cut leaving the toes without this so much loved finish. guess how that looks after you�ve finished your job.

Toe fillets are not required per IPC. Toe fillets could be used as a process indicator, if you desire; I would not. Gull wing leads are typically cut off on the ends when manufactured; this exposes the non-plated material in the lead, typically coppe

Hi, I have a fine pitch QFP (TQFP100) and after reflow soldering, i got less solder ( not enough fillet) on the toe area but have good fillet at the heel. Does this mean that I have a weak solder joint or is my process not too good ? What is importa

3W. Figure 8-84 shown evidence of heel bend wetting(but no written criteria mention about the solder fillet must present at the heel bend). It is acceptable if the minimum D(3W/75%L)extend from toe which is no evidence of solder fillet at heel bend?

Hi, Do you have a picture on one of these leads where the solder has covered the lead ? As this is a gull wing device I wouldn't expect solder to cover it. I expect to see a toe fillet / wetting around the sides of the lead and a heel fillet. If your

1800??? That's not a Mictor part number. Huh? What??? Haaaa!!!! You gotta do what???? 1800 ofem??? Haaaa!!!! Sorry. It�s simple. Just ... * Cut all the SMT gull wing leads on both sides of the connector just above the solder. * Put the co
