Hello

We have used similar pitch components and the pad width is 12 mils, the
same as what you are using. So far we have not had any problems.

You can infact try using 10 mil pad width with mask inbetween pins (very
essential in case of 19.67 mil pitch components), which is quite good
enough for this package, incase that helps solving solder bridges.

thanks with regards

k.v.raj
