I can't comment on 20 pitch TSOP, but wave soldering wider pitch parts require: * Orienting components with the leads perpendicular to the wave [moving parallel to the rails]. * Thieving [robbing] pads on trailing pads for the component. Search the

Excessive bridging on SOICW-20, -16, SOIC-8, -14,-16. I've got a board, 4" x 6" w/ SOICs on bottom-side for wave solder. I've checked topside board temp for flux activation, wave height, wave surface with the glass check-plate going from 1" to 2" spa

THIEVING * Layout: I�d guess the surface area of your thieves is not large enough. The pull from the thief is not great enough to over-come the pull from the connector pins and pads. Consider tripling the size of the thief. As you say, reducing t

| We've noticed that there are many different recommendations for pad sizes for various SMT parts. This seems to vary wildly from manufacturer to manufacturer for the same case sizes. Is there any standards that can used used to specify these sizes

Your thinking is correct. Wave soldering pads that were designed for reflow can create problems: * Large pads used for reflow [too much solder] can create reliability problems. * Bridging [too much solder] creates rework. * Skipping & shadowing from

We have resorted to adding a ring (or donut) around our 0.040" round fiducials. The donut acts as a "plating thief" to minimize the thickness of the copper plating (in the case of HASL finish) and of the solder plating (in the case of solder-plated
