| What to look for that causes tombstoning and the corective action. | Check your land-patterns. If they do not meet IPC standards, change your CAD libraries to IPC (or some other industry accepted standards such as SMTPLUS). If you have "home-gr

Randy: Seems you have a long way to go to DFM. To your strategy: - proof that in the case of wrong landpattern design the IPC would have been the better choice - count money ( what�s the cost of redesigns due to bad landpatterns ) - establish at leas

I would like to know if anyone else has experience with testing bga's with xray ? We are trying to find out what would be the best landpattern shape

Michael: "C1005" stands for Capacitor 0402. For the package 0603 you need to choose "C1608". This is out of IPC-SM-782. I don�t know where it�s coming from we also deal with 0603 or 0805. IPC uses RLP-numbers (Registered Land Pattern Number) to ident

It's unusual to use a horseshoe shaped pad for a 0805. Commonly when people want to reduce the paste volume to reduce solder balling, they print a "home plate" aperature. We print paste 1:1 with the pad. �IPC-7351 LP Wizard� is the library mainten

Ah, I almost forget (forgot?) to mention that according to the Gerber files (which is the info we send to the PCB-house) the PCB land pattern for this LGA-36 0.35mm rounded pads and the boardhouse cannot achieve this. I understand them; 0.35mm pads,
