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

It's a nasty little part, but usuallu solders well. Now your inspectors will thing it's not soldered and try and touch it up, but generally, the exposed leads are not tinned, and will not toe fillet. If they know this up front they won't over heat

Well I DO KNOW! Hi aj, 100% on the lead pads and 50% reduction on the center pad if you do not use thermal vias. If you do use thermal vias, you may need to increase the amount of paste needed, but not by much. 50% will be a good start. After re

I think it is wetted also but I cannot verifiy without actually seeing the toe, heel or side fillets. In this case, the lead was overhanging the pad and as with this type of lead it is not acceptable so they were reworked. Many times rework personel

They take the solder in a dip and look solderability test but when in normal reflow process we got some pins that do not get wet and the appearance is as follows: -Pillow effect on the toe(no front fillet is formed) -There is a sheet of flux between

Thanks davef! We found some SOIC & QFP with all leads having toe down problem. The heel fillet unable extend to the mid point outside bend. Do you have solutions for the problem? I have a question: How about the normal gull wing lead which is flat &
