Frequently asked questions

What is the recommended solder paste alloy for the 6x6 DriverMOS?

The recommended lead-free solder paste alloy is SAC 305 (96.5 Sn/3.0Au/0.5Cu).

Can vias be placed inside the center pads of the 6x6 DriverMOS?

Yes, but users should realize vias often create voiding and should study the process design with x-ray inspection.

What is the maximum recommended voiding percentage for this package?

Fairchild recommends a guideline of 25% voiding for 6x6 DriverMOS packages.

Should the 6x6 DriverMOS be reused after rework?

No, it is recommended that this component not be reused if rework becomes necessary due to high temperatures.
