can anyone help with information about I-shape of SMDs. our Design includes this shape of contacts. we are searching for information on quality judgement of solder joints with I-leads on Pads. Please help.

We had a similar problem so we shrunk the thermal and extended the pads. This allowed us to ensure solder resist was applied to the track in between. It fixed our problem.

I extended the pads to help ensure the component locates correctly and to allow for easier re-work should problems occur. I reduced the thermal by 5% but you may want to speak to your fabricator and ask what they require to ensure that the resist is

I have never use it, but I know autosplice has machines that can break them automatically, I don know how they work but I know that some people in my area use these machines for the same process as you. Hope it helps.

Without further information my first guess would be lack of flux to "cut through" the ENTEK layer. Question: In X-ray is the suspect ball of equal diameter when compared to adjacent balls? If no then the volume of solder is different which would po

I'm working on a prototype board that requires a 600 pin BGA. This is a metal top BGA being placed on a 11" x 17" PCB about .62" thick. The part is 1.77" square with a 50 mil pitch and 30 mil bump diameter. The bumps are located on the perime

Just curious what effect pinholes and solder voids can have on solder joints that have high current passing thru them. Also could moisture from steam sterilization (autoclaving) get inside a said solder joint and then outgas during high current, and/

Thanks for the valueable feedback, I have two questions 1. why do you have to extend the pad size ? is it okay if i keep pad size 2. I am currently using thermal pad size recommended in datasheet max value 4.2mm x 4.2mm, how much should i shrink

Sal, This is a common problem experienced by several OEM's. It all comes down to heat. This is why the problem is corrected on your repair unit. I would suggest using a Slim Kic or Data Pac (mole) to thermal couple the IC prior to the reflow oven.

I am in urgent need of a pcb land patten (footprint)for this device. I have the component data sheet with with package dimensions from Motorola, but they do not include the recommended land pattern. I requested a patten over a week ago, but have no
