Book Description
In this publication extensive knowledge about design as well as manufacturing is used to bring to you insight about all the aspects I can think of regarding pattern development. It is my intent for you to find this to be the single most comprehensive source of information that will establish a foundation for you and your company to create land patterns with confidence that will serve you very well. For designers this is the definitive source of information. The constant and steady evolution of SMT is faster than organizations like the IPC can keep up with. That void is where SMT Plus has tried its best to be a reliable source of information.
Contained within this publication are over 30 chapters that teach you what you need to know about patterns, standards, rule of thumb, and specific requirements to create land patterns for use either internally or externally. The chapters explain the mechanical information you need for different package and lead types, then explains the rules for developing patterns for each.
My development of land patterns began in 1983 thru extensive testing and experimentation. The constant evolution of technology has changed those old rules and making sure you are current with the effects of lead free solder, silk screens and solder masks is also covered.
