 Topic: Paste Mask Rules For Thermal PadsPosted: 20 Mar 2019 at 4:16am |

Hello,
What are the exact rules for the thermal pad solder mask ? I know that it is 50% of the pad but from what size the mask is divided by 4 or more rectangles ? And what is the rule for the distance between these small rectangles? and the distance between these rectangles and the edge of the copper pad ? Thanks in advance.

The Thermal Tab Rules are located in the "Preferences > Rules" section of Library Expert.
You define the Thermal Tab values that are best for you to create a custom library that matches your preferences. Solder Mask Defined Thermal Pads are a new IPC-7093A standard. See this forum post - |

Here is an image of the Minimum paste mask aperture spacing rules for a SON package with a Thermal Pad that intersects with a row of pins.
