We're having trouble with a TO-252 DPAK from Fairchild (MC7805CDT) and our existing land pattern. The land pattern calculator on the IPC site doesn't have anything available that matches it (there are no TO-252's available on the pull downs), and I'

Can SMD footprints designed for wavesoldering be soldered using reflow process especially in the case of resistor type 1206?

Dave, you are THE master of the search. I made the lame assumption that if they'd had layout specs. for a part, it would be part of the spec. Bad assumption. The layout for the decal from that page you linked to is exactly what I needed. I look

The IPC-EM-782 reads as follows: the adjustment factor is usually intended to increase the Z dimension slightly, but brings the Z maximum up to an even equivalent. Example if Zmax is 2.100mm then you would enter an adjustment factor of .100mm. The ad

Thanks, Larry, more good info. I think my designer has that spec. in his library. What we DID find that while we had the proper pattern called out in our in house spec. sheet for the part, the designers don't look at the spec. sheets. They just grab

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

"small" versus "LARGE" parts? Jeez, what do I know? We don�t have a formal definition. They�re the ones that make you say: �Now, that�s a BIG-ass part!!!� �nominal� versus �maximum�? Yes, yer correct.

I am just starting to get into sub 50mil pitch, but from what I can see you are correct. But I can help with solder stencil. I cut the width only half of what the pad is, but the keep the length the same. This has helped but does not fix always. Stil

Jim Blankenhorn [www.smtplus.com] has the best understanding of designing pads for real life. That�s because he designs them like he wants to design them and doesn�t negotiate with a committee of thousands for an IPC standard. Consider doing this
