Hi All,

I have a question regarding the glue mask when designing PCBs.

I am ordering the IPC SM-817 which provides requirements for surface
mounting adhesives, but am unsure if it will provide requirements
specifically on dimensions for the glue mask.  Are there concrete rules for
glue mask dimensions?  Or, should the glue mask just follow the component
outline?  Also, is it always necessary to use a glue mask, or only when
components are placed on both sides of the board?

Best Regards,

Natasha
