If your looking for a small footprint at lower cost a Zevetech 575 or Quad 4c should do a good job for you. If your boards get more complicated or you go down to fine pitch, 402's, BGA, you may need to look at a newer technology. We just went throug

Hi, Is the footprint per the component manufacturers recommendations? The reason I ask is because it kinda looks like the pads are extending beneath the component. Could cause the part to float up on top of the solder and not allow the leads to wet

I recently did a layout for a Freescale accelerometer and the mfg recommended pad layout did something similar. They where very specific in the pad layout dimensions. They stated the reason was "With the correct footprint, the packages will self-alig

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

Hi... We tend to do a lot of footprint calculating for new SMD components. But what about the amount of solder paste on the solder pads. The amount of solder alloy is of cause determined by the stencil aperture size, stencil thickness and the sold

I am always looking for ways to make my boards more reliable and easier to fabricate and assemble. I have been baselining my footprints off of IPC-7351 and with the latest revision of the calculator they have started a new feature. Normally on say

Hello Guru's, I am using IPC-7351 LP Calulator to design Footprint (0603, 0805, 1206, SOT-23, etc) for all SMT Parts. Our Production Recently commented that they have included Red Glue Machine inhouse and will use Wave Soldering for Both Thru-hol

Jack, a couple of questions first, 1. What pitch are these leads? 2. What are the lead footprint dimensions? 3. Orientation of component? I personally have never had much luck soldering QFPs in the wave unless they are 50 mil pitch or greater, we o

Hello! Does any one know of a disadvantage of using the Phillips recommended wave solder SOIC footprint where the last pad on each side of the SOIC is enlarged, instead of placing an extra pair of pads behind the SOIC. Both footprint patterns seem e
