Is there a standard (JEDEC or other) for "lead sweep" errors on fine pitch (eg, 0.5mm) gull wing leads? Parts from one of my suppliers has a sweep error up to 6 mils; the mechanical drawing does not address lead sweep error, nor is there a true posi

We'd suggest using your connector supplier recommendations. Some use: * Pad Plating: 20-30 uin Au over 50 uin Ni (You might get away with less gold) * In-Pad Vias: less than half the diameter of the button (for contact-only configurations) * PCB/C

I expect that suppliers can just about always hold solder mask registration within a true position of 3 thou. That's the old SMT padstack think ... make the solder mask openings extend 3 thou larger than the copper. That way, even if the copper and t

After thinking some more: Feeder offset is usually an averaged number... If feeders get erratic feeder offset goes wacky. Nozzles don't seal, components slip and vision isn't getting the true pick position. And worse they may move again post vision

You are correct about a TCE [CTE] mismatch issues in ceramic packages. The coefficient of thermal expansion [ppm/�C] of major ceramic package elements are: * Silicon - 3 * Standard 92% alumina ceramic � 6.5 * FR4 board � 18-20 Several points are: *

Fids ON the PCB will have a reference to the PCB 0,0 point in CAD data generally or can be measured with good accuracy in gerber if CAD is not available. Panel fiducials are not always referenced from the PCB 0,0 point but many times are referenced
