Although I haven't bought it yet....the "NEW" 7351A says it includes guidance
for lead free soldering processes.
Here's what it says on the site:
7351A - Generic Requirements for Surface Mount Design and Land Pattern
Standard
The next revision to the industry's leading land pattern design standard is
here! This popular document covers land pattern design for all types of passive
and active components, including resistors, capacitors, MELFs, SSOPs,
TSSOPs, QFPs, BGAs, QFNs and SONs. The standard provides printed board
designers with an intelligent land pattern naming convention, zero component
rotations for CAD systems, and three separate land pattern geometries for
each component that allows the user to select a land pattern based on
desired component density. Revision A now includes land pattern design
guidance for lead free soldering processes, reflow cycle and profile
requirements for components, and new component families such as numerous
forms of chip array packages and "pull-back" QFN and SON devices. IPC-7351A
includes both the standard and a IPC-7351A land pattern viewer on CD-ROM
from which to access component and land pattern dimensional data.
