Cheryl, This is good for SolderPaste. What do you do for GlueDots - as was originally asked? <wide grin> Regards, James Jackson Oztronics -----Original Message----- From: DesignerCouncil [mailto:[log in to unmask]]On Behalf Of Cheryl Johnson Sent: Wednesday, March 02, 2005 10:40 AM To: [log in to unmask] Subject: Re: [DC] IPC 7351 & Glue Dots I know many define odd shaped solder paste. I still (going down to 0603 and 0402's) define my solderpaste gerber aperture equal to my pad aperture - and let the stencil manufacturer and assembly house "use what is best for them". We are a Chinese disk drive manufacturer with millions of volume.

Specifically the smaller chip components, 2012(0805)'s. I noticed that the pad to pad spacing is pretty tight. TIA Greg Holley Dade Behring Inc.
