Hello Dave,

There is a formula and set of tables in IPC-2221 (the 2220 series replaced
275, which in-turn replaced Mil-275).

Land size, minimum = a+2b+c

a= maximum diameter of finished hole
b= minimum annular ring requirements
c= fabrication allowance

There are 3 levels of defined manufacturability A,B & C, with A being the
easiest to manufacture.

At the A level you would need a land diameter 0.5mm bigger than your maximum
finished hole diameter.
At the B level you will need 0.35mm in diameter.
At C this reduces to 0.3mm

This is a minimum, but your supplier seems to be asking for twice this.

55110 is no longer current, Mil-prf-31032 replaces it.

Missregistration (hole to land?)depends on the performance class of your
boards.
Generally acceptance referring IPC-600 class 2 allows for the hole to break
out of the pad by no more than 90 degrees of it's circumference as long as
it does not occur at the track entry to the pad.
Class 3 does not allow any breakout.

I hope this helps.

Hi,

I do not have quick access to ICP 275 and IPC 2221.

I am told by my PCB supplier that the distance from hole edge to pad edge
should not be less than 0.5 mm in IPC 275 and 0.6 mm in IPC 2221 for the
design of through hole vias.

If this is so how do you fanout fine pitch BGA components or even 35 mil
pads on 50 mil pitch.

Is there a tolerance on missregistration in the Mil 55110 spec.

Your help will be most appreciated.

Regards,
