Hi All -- I'm about to design a DPAK part (case 369A-13, Issue Z)onto a PCB . The part's maximum length as given in the datasheets (On-Semi MAC4DHM) is 0.030" longer than the recommended land pattern as given in that same datasheet. (1) Has anybod

thank you very much

I would go with wire thickness + 0.4 to 0.8 mm for pad width, and pre-tinned lenght + 0.5mm what seems to me like problem is that it can easily roll off the pads in reflow oven

Our land patterns are slightly bigger than the part, we've had no problems. There are your own concerns about the part hanging over the pads, this can be ok or not depending on your application and/or how much part is over. I'm sure this is in the J-

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

Hi, Our PCB designers are beginning to send up designs to manufacturing that have increasingly difficult footprints to work with. The footprints have been generated by the IPC-SM-782 calculator but just look wrong to me. The pitch of the devices in

I' designing a PCB with SMD components to optimize the land patterns for wave soldering. I find that the IPC-SM-782 land patterns are not robust enough for wave soldering, yielding ramdom skips and bridges. This PCB will also give me insight on sha
