Tips
- Paste masks are split into small fills for packages with a large thermal pad (sized 2.1mm x 1.6mm, or larger).
- For packages involving gullwing leads, pads are trimmed to prevent them from otherwise extending under the package's body.
- For small packages having a large central thermal pad (PQFP, QFN, SOIC, and SOP), the peripheral pads are trimmed to ensure required clearance between the pads in accordance with the IPC Standard.
- IPC footprints are always generated in metric units.
