Frequently asked questions

What is the recommended pad finish for lead-free processing?

Immersion silver, immersion nickel gold, and Organic Surface Protectant (OSP) are the choices of choice. A high-quality OSP like Enthone® Entek® Plus HT is recommended.

Can vias be placed inside the thermal pads?

It is recommended to place vias just outside the pad to avoid voiding issues, as appropriately sized vias can be costly in production.

Is a solder fillet required on the side of the lead?

No, a solder fillet is not required on the side of the lead per JDC-STD-001D, but it can improve reliability by 20%.
