Subject: Gull Wing Lead Overhang
To: Technet
Does anyone have information on the affect on reliability in a thermal
cycle environment of gull wing leaded devices that are not completely
on the pad (up to 25% side overhang). For Class 3 hardware, J-STD-001
allows up to 25% overhang, a value that was determined by pull test to
not degrade reliability significantly. I have seen one paper that
suggested greater than 50% decrease in thermal cycle fatigue life with
leads 25% off the pad (actual testing, no analysis performed).
Reliability prediction models show a decrease in fatigue life with
decreasing solder area under the lead, however, when microsectioning
leads I found very little difference in solder area between a 25% and
0% overhang. The only significant difference was the absence of a
fillet on the overhanging side.
Thanks.
