Dummy pad 用于PCB 制造过程中, 



用于内层: 是为了防止PCB板压合后出现部分压合厚度不均匀导致PCB 变形或层于层

粘合力不足。

用于外层: 是考虑到线路上电镀铜厚度,如果空旷区域很大,导致周围线路导线增

粗,增厚, 此时应在空旷区域添加一些dummy pard 来平衡周围的铜离子,

Re: [TGA] 答复: Re: [TGA] acti ve pad and  dummy pad













Sometimes also leave some pads on non-circuit area of external lay of PCB 

for plating current uniformity, so that can reduce PTH copper thickness 

difference in different holes. 



no special chinese name for dummy pad in this case. same meaning as false 

pad.

Hello All,



 



In the plated through hole of a multi-layer PCB the terms that are 

typically used for pads are “functional” (pads that actually carry a 

signal to the PTH) and “non-functional” (pads that DO NOT carry a signal 

to the PTH).  This may be what is meant by “active” and “dummy”.



 



The designer has 2 choices for pads when designing a PCB. 



 



First is to include pads on each layer connecting to the PTH.  This would 

include both functional and non-functional.  This has the benefit of 

reducing the amount of resin in the z-axis and therby reduces overall 

z-axis expansion of the PTH when exposed to heat.  The negative side to 

this approach is that it leaves many more opportunities for “shorts” 

between the non-functional pads and the surrounding circuitry.



 



The second choice is to remove these non-functional (non signal carrying) 

pads from the design.  This significantly decreases the possible failure 

due to shorts, but increases the resin content of the PTH area and 

increases the Z-Axis expansion during heat exposure.



 



 



Best Regards,

Good question,.  Is it Active/Dummy pad for PCB or for BGA component? In 

the case of BGA, the Active pad would have electrical connections, the 

Dummy pad would be for mechanical attachment and thermal enhancement.

Hi All,



Who knows those two items "Active pad" and "Dummy pad" in Chinese?



Many thanks,



Regards,
