| CIRCUIT BOARD TYPE All flexible types of circuit boards may be used (e.g. FR-4, G-10) and also alumina. For other circuit board materials, please consult factory. COMPONENT PAD DESIGN Component pads must be designed to achieve good joints and minimize component movement during solderi ng. Pad designs are given below for both wave and reflow soldering. The basis of these designs is: a. Pad width equal to component width. It is permissible to decrease this to as low as 85% of component width but it is not advisable to go bel ow this. b. Pad overlap about 0.3mm. c. Pad extension about 0.3mm for reflow. Pad extension about 0.8mm for wave soldering. |
