Hello, Could you please tell me if there is any industry standard specifying QFN to PCB standoff after soldering? Is any gap allowed? Browsing IPC-A-610, I have found nothing. Any input would be appreciated. Regards

We have seen that vias included in the PCB under the thermal pad will give less voiding.

There is no industry standard for BTC stand-off height. "IPC-7093A Design and Assembly Process Implementation for Bottom Termination SMT (BTC) Components" just finished "Final Draft for Industry Review" in December 2018. It mentions stand-off height

80% on edge pads and >60% on center pad(s). So with this in mind the component body should stand off a bit.

Yes, No standard.Normally QFN supplier suggest 50-75 um (2-3 mil), but it's very hard to achieve and hard to make consistent stand-off in prodution.

Charliem, Thank you for the input. Following this logic, in case if there are no soldering issues, pad coverage and voiding levels are within acceptable limits and a gap between BTC and pad let us say 200um, this could be accepted, right? IPC-A-61

200uM seems high. I say this because typically our solder stencils in this application are between 80uM and 100uM thick which would leave the component height less than that after reflow. However if your not experiencing any shorting between pads I w
