Does the part have a ground/thermal pad underneath or are all terminations on the perimeter?

1- Thickness 0.005" 2- I usually reduce 50% of the thermal pad, but it also depend on original size of thermal pad somehow I have to either create window panel or crosshatch otherwise component wil get wimming during reflow. Hope this will help. Reg

All, Does anyone on the forum have experience with underfill? We have a component with QFN pkg on one of the new products. It has a thermal pad in the centre. Customer wants this component to have an underfill. Questions - 1) Does one normally req

Pad design - Standard IPC 20 pitch QFP Thermal pad design - Layout the thermal pad 0mm to 0.15mm larger per side (0mm to 0.30mm larger overall) than the exposed die pad on the package. �Larger than�, as opposed to the same size, is preferred. Obvio

Ok Thanks, i have reduced thermal pad size by 4.5 mils on top and bottom part of this footprint where the problem was occuring, so now the clearance between thermal pad and lead pads are 12 mils instead of 7.5 mils on two sides. (i kept the signal pa

Thank you for the response. Nothing in the datasheet referring to a percentage of thermal pad coverage. I am thinking along the same lines. We are not failing any thermal or functional testing as is so am thinking there is no problem here except m

Hi All, I have designed 4 Layer PCB with one 28 pin QFN PKG. I have got complaint from Production that the pads which connected to thermal pads (gnd) thru trace is bridging with solder and because of this bridge, pins are not getting soldered prope

Hi SMT World, I am facing a technical challenge related to an SOIC 14lds with thermal pad on it's belly that needs to be soldered onto PCB, together with leads. It is a 50 per board, expected 80% solder load on every one. We have some units without

REduction of center pad is the key as well as the stencil thickness. Having too big opening on your stencil will sometimes lift the part from the pads. Always try to make windowpane and shoot for about 60% of the thermal pad to be covered as start p

Many aspects cause such problem, stencil windows and thickness, thermal pad and crowded PTH vias on PCB, the castellated pad size and pcb pad size. Do you have picture for reference?
