George,

Did you mean:
((Thermal ID + Thermal OD) * .2)/4 (rounded to the nearest mil.)

Our gap formula is (Thermal ID + Thermal OD) * .2 (rounded to the nearest
mil.)

Subject: [DC] Thermal Relief Calculations


Hi all,

I am looking at IPC-2222 9.1.2 regarding thermal relief pads. It provides a
formula for the web width based on the minimum pad size.

I can use this method with my current software, which allows me to create a
thermal relief for each pad. But, I also use a system that only allows me to
specify thermal relief pads for 'non-vias' in a particular plane.

My questions are, what are you guys using to calculate your thermal relief
pads? Do you calculate the web size for each pad used, Or do you have some
other method of calculating the web width.

Any advice, rules of thumb etc. would be most appreciated.

Just one more thing, could anyone confirm what is meant by "Standard
Manufacturing Allowance" in IPC-2222 Figure 9-1. Is this the same as
IPC-2221 table 9-3 "Minimum Hole Location Tolerance, dtp"?

Regards.

Mark
