Thanks again to the responses to my question on asymmetric microBGA
joints.
Another question on land patterns if I may:
Our new leadfree assembler has requested us to modify our current
SQFP Land Patterns by making the pads wider to allow for Side Fillets,
thus improving the reliability of the solder joint. This will result in a
situation where the 0.4mm (0.016in) pitch devices have a Pad-Pad
spacing of 0.125mm (0.005in) with no dividing Soldermask. Our concern
now is the possibility of Solder Bridging. Will the benefits of the side
fillets outweigh the risks of bridging? Thanks in advance.
