Hi all, our problem we face is the mismatch of conductor width on the delivered PCB and the nominal width given by CAD-data. With CAD we are improving pads and conductors to match the specific needs for soldering and the board houses counteract our i

Hello, As our company has begun doing an increase production of contract manufacturing I have seen more and more designs with the 0402 pad layouts that are smaller (.015 in width) than the component. Also there is only a .008 longer than the 0402 p

The total inductance of a chip capacitor is determined both by its length to width ratio and by the mutual inductance coupling between its electrodes. So, a 1210 chip size has a lower inductance than a 1206 chip. Check with your supplier for recomm

I have carried out some further measurements on the device and the results are as follow: Component Lead width measures 183 microns. Actuals PAD width measures 158 microns. What I am thinking is that the lead is attracting the solder hence prevent

We are having some problems with "drawbridging" on 0805 film capacitors. We have already reduced the pad width from .050" to .040" based on input from vendor. Defects appear to be random as far as location on the PWB and direction of placement. We

Jim Blankenhorn [www.smtplus.com] has the best understanding of designing pads for real life. That�s because he designs them like he wants to design them and doesn�t negotiate with a committee of thousands for an IPC standard. Consider doing this

Are the apertures on the stencil reduced in width or 1:1 with the pads? It depends on the pad width and foil thickness but we usually reduce aperture width for any part that results in an aperture wall spacing of less than 8.5 mils.

Hi Dreamsniper, the IPC land design standard is IMO a good reference. If you use the online calculator you can influence the result by varying for example manufactoring parameters. For the same lead width and same tolerances (and of course pitch) we

If there's no shear strength standard for solder joint, how will I define my pad width and length then. I have a 8.5 mils width and my component lead width is 8.66 mils based on manufacturer's minimum width specification. How will I identify that it

Problem: PQFP208 Pad Width specified as 11.8 thou, PCB came and they are 9.5 thou. Component Lead Width is 10 thou to 10.6 thou. Operators have difficulty aligning and inspecting. Issue: Fed back to PCB Fab House and they said IPC accepts +/- 20% fo
