Read the articles everyone else recommend. I haven't read of them but I will say this. A Solder Mask Defined pad is a copper flood that has much more thermal mass than a Non-Solder Mask Defined pad so it will heat and cool at a slower rate. I suspect

Her is how we rework these typew of components. First remove the device using hot air. It is sometimes helpful to heat the back of the board if possible to get the thermal pad heated with less strain on adjacent comps. Remove the remaining solder

Looking for advice/products on ways to get heat out of a package and into an internal thermal plane. Will have electrically isolated thermal pads (going to an internal thermal plane) under the part. Need a way to get good thermal contact between par

Hi there. would it be possible that thermal relief pads for relay bring bad solder?

one point to remember is to have a large stencil reduction on the thermal pad, you need to reduce the solder volume by about 35%, if you don't you risk the solder from the thermal pad shorting out the other leads or the solder volume causing the comp

Hopefully you have a dispenser on your machine so that you can add a few large dots of paste to the thermal pad.

Thanks for your reply. X-ray inspection can only tell you whether the soldering is well, but can not solve the root problem of thermal pads.

Although this is not technically a bottom termination component, the method of attachment of the thermal pad is a bottom termination attachment. For bottom termination components IPC states that "thermal pad void criteria shall be established between

Hi , hope below information may help you. The presence of small voids in thermal pad region is not likely to result in degradation of thermal and electrical performance The combing of smaller multiple voids up to 50% of the thermal pad area, does
