I'm still down sizing pads to mount/solder chip devices. We had a
conversation about mounting 0603's on 0402 pad configurations last year. I'm
still going with that with some modifications. Anyone have anything else to
contribute concerning increased reliability as fewer end cap cracking
problems and solder joint failures? It all goes back to the early '80's as
LCCC's and related stuff with TCE mismatch problems.
