We are using Dpak package & I would like to know which is the best Aperture shape for DPAK, whether is there any problem if the Aperture of Ground pad is made of the same shape & size as the pad & what are the possible issues faced with it. Can I have the photo of the shapes if possible?

Hi,

just for the package you have you will see 20 different designs for the ground pad. Some will be 1:1 with the part some will be 3 times bigger than the part ground contact. I would always print according to the part and will always do a windowpane design for the apertures on the stencil.

Windowpane your ground planes, this will prevent a lot of voiding.

Also coplanarity can be poor on these parts so overprinting the paste (beyond the pad perimeter) can increase volume to insure robust solder joint.
