Solder Pads for Surface Mount Components - RF Cafe Forums

RF Cafe Forums closed its virtual doors in late 2012 mainly due to other social media platforms dominating public commenting venues. RF Cafe Forums began sometime around August of 2003 and was quite well-attended for many years. By 2012, Facebook and Twitter were overwhelmingly dominating online personal interaction, and RF Cafe Forums activity dropped off precipitously. Regardless, there are still lots of great posts in the archive that ware worth looking at. Below are the old forum threads, including responses to the original posts.

Good day.

I am looking for the specifications (maybe an IPC document) that would give the dimensions for the solder pads for standard size surface mount components (i.e. 0402, 0603, 0805, 1206, 2010, 2512 etc.).

I would like to have a specification so that I can reference a document, however, if someone knows of a website that can give these dimensions I will be able to start there.

Thank you for your time and help.

Michael

Please check Murata / Rohm website for the solder Pad Details (0201, 0402 etc)

IPC lists several optional solder pad dimensions for surface mount types like 0402 etc. depending on the manufacturing (soldering) process.

The IPC web site is closed for non members, but frequently, the recommendations can be found on other web sites with a little help from your favourite search engine.

:-D

Hi Michael,

Look for IPC 7351.

There are three standards, (or suggestions) within this spec: Nominal, Least and Most. They all lists different dimensions which depends on the technology and capability of the assembly manufacturer.
