Glue a SOT223? | 8 December, 2000

Can it be done? If so, what pattern to use? I plan to screen print the adhesive.

Thanks in advance!

Sure you can do it!!! Just so that I'm clear on your inquiry, the pattern you're talking about is what? * Foot print of the copper pads * Glue pattern for printing your adhesive

Glue patter for printing adhesive. I was going to use a bar as wide as the part.

Your line is fine. We do three dots in a line between the leads.
