Gents, We've been using a round 1:1 aperture for a 5 mils thickness on our stencil design on 0402 and recently, IPC guidelines recommend oblong, homeplate or reverse homeplate. I believed the PCB pad for 0402's area within the recommended size/dimen

Hi, I need help to understand further on the via in pad for 0402 requirement. If I were to do the DFM over the brd design which consist of 0402 with via on pad, what is the criteria that I should look for ? I learned that the via in pad does not wor

You're correct. This design will have a record amount of 0402 rework for tombstoning and misalignments. Suggest that the pads on each end of all components be the same size in order to balance wetting forces during reflow.

One of my customers has asked about concerns, comments, ideas about putting 0402 packages on bottom side of the board. The process will be no clean with reflow/reflow. If anybody out there has some experience or concerns please comment. Regards

There is no difference in 0402�s on the bottom side than 0603 0805 1206. They will not fall off or tombstone, unless they where before you put them in the oven.

Morning all, just took a look at a new board we just got in and the there are different pad areas under the same BGA. What happened is engineering uses wider trace sizes for some pads and those overlap when more than one go to the same pad. This caus
