We have our own manufacturing facility. I'm working on figuring out what
will work. Usually, the IC manufacture's suggested footprint doesn't.
Usually a modified variation on the IPC specs do. But, it's unique to this
plant.

Subject: [TN] IPC SMT FOOTPRINT DESIGN GUIDLINES VS SUPPLIERS


Folks,

Just a simple question really. How many folks use IPC SMT footprint
guidelines compared with supplier recommendations? There often is quite a
difference. As everyone on this planet uses IPC acceptance criteria, why
shouln't everyone use IPC design guidelines but for component supplier
liability issues?
