emmanuel : i agree with Dave , it's easy to have blind hole on the bottom side , of course in this case you'll lose some thermal efficiency ;the second solution is to put on the bottom side between the board and your heatsink a soft thermal interfac

We used Thermal Pads, made of black rubbery material, and sticky on both sides (like x2 side tape), intent is to place in between, BGA/QFP and the PCB board, and reduce the air-gap flow between, the PCB to SMD... air-gap will permit air flow, that i

We all know that whenever possible, we want thermal relief between the barrel/pad and the copper foil to make it easier to properly solder that through hole connector. My question is, assuming there is no connection from the barrel to a copper layer

I wouldn't count on solder bridging that kind of gap. I've never used solder preforms, but I wonder if that would be worthwhile to try?

The 5 thou standoff of your SOIC is probably the minimum. We wouldn't be surprised to see 10 thou. With this, you could have maybe a 6 thou gap between printed solder paste and the bottom of the heat slug. So, you're expecting the rabbit ears of p

We are currently reviewing a design which has a leadless chip scale package with a solder thermal pad on the underside. The application notes for the device specify use of a no-clean solder paste as the gap under the device will prevent cleaning. Is

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

AJ, No overprint. We have components in very close proximity that precluded that. Also we have differing areas of thermal relief for the pads from a large backplane, from none at all to open blocks to individual pad relief. After a few more experimen

Q1: How many mils the gap between the terminal and pad? A1: It depends on properties of the glue and z-force when the component is placed by the assembler. Q2: Your practice is for technology SMT-4? A2: We don't understand SMT4. We know that very sm
