Has anyone come across any good visuals for the solderability requirements for component leads with toe-down configuration? IPC-A-610 does not have any visual aids for this category and our inspectors are having a difficult time assessing based sole

Take a picture of one that just barely meets specs. Take a photo of this, either under a scope or with one of those USB scopes. Then use the photo for whatever instructions you provide to the operators.

IPC-A-610D refers to 'toe down configuration' several times, beyond the 8.2.5.6 that you question. Although none will add to your understanding of 'toe down'. A lead that is 'toe down' is one where the foot of the lead is not parallel to the pad. T

We had a vent block up not too long ago ourselves. Saw multiple solderjoints, especially on fine pitch micros, that looked like they had alligator toes. We solder bump, so it was obvious that area didn't get hot enough to liquify the solder and hav

Dear Friend, Can any one explain what is 'toe down configuration' stated in 8.2.5.6 IPC-A-610D? Can any one here to explain in more details. Thanks

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-A-610D is a Acceptability of the Electronic assemblies so all your questions depends on the product classes either 1,2,or 3 and it is given in this standard about the acceptablity criteria of the soldering of any type of the components i.e. it h

Hi Russ! An "R" QFP is what Altera calls their Plastic Quad Flatpacks that have a heatsink in the top...they actually call them Power Quad Flatpacks. I'm familiar with the formula, of how one can figure out if there's enough surface tension for a p
