Guy,
I'm no mech guy, but with the stiffer lead free solders wouldn't smaller
fillets be a good thing? The little you gain in longer time for a crack
to propagate through a large solder joint would be more than offset by a
longer time for it to form in the first place because the smaller joint
would be more compliant.  I await either confirmation or a firey death
from more knowledgeable Technetters.

I seem to recall that a few years ago Ing was saying that Ericsson had
gone to chip cap joints where there was virtually no fillet showing up
the side of the chip face.

Subject: Re: [TN] 0402 anti-tombstoning land pattern

If we make the land narrower than the part and minimize the length,
won't
that compromise both mechanical strength and solder joint life in a
thermal
cycling environment? 

My experience with solder joint failure on chip components the joint
cracks
down the face and under the part. If the height of the fillet is reduced
the
time to failure will also reduce. No?

Hi Dean,
Make the land pattern narrower than the component-I know, I know, tough
to
do with 0402's as well as shorter thus producoing less of a fillet
[which is
,of course, the root cause for the tombstoning]
