Common pad shape and size standards for PCB design

Solder pad is the basic unit of PCB surface mounting assembly. On the printed circuit board, the circuit connection of all components is carried out through the pad. Next, Shenzhen PCB design company - Shenzhen kingford to introduce the common PCB design pad shape and size standards.


First, PCB design of the common pad shape

Welding pad can be divided into 7 categories, according to the shape of the distinction is as follows:

1. Square pad - printed board components are large but few, and printed wire is simple.

2. Round pad - widely used in single and double sided printed boards with regular arrangement of components.

3. Island pad -- the connection between the pad and the pad is integrated into one, which is often used in vertical irregular arrangement installation.

4. Tear drop pad - when the connection of the line is thin often used, commonly used in high-frequency circuit.

5. Polygonal pad -- used to distinguish the outside diameter close to the aperture of the pad, easy to process and assembly.

6. Oval pad -- This pad has sufficient area to enhance stripping resistance, and is often used for dual-in-line devices.

7. Open shape pad -- in order to ensure that after wave soldering, so that manual repair welding pad hole is not blocked by solder often used.


Two, PCB design pad size design standard

1. The minimum single side of all pads shall be no less than 0.25mm, and the maximum diameter of the whole pad shall be no more than 3 times of the component aperture.

2. Try to ensure that the spacing between the edges of the two pads is greater than 0.4mm.

3. In the case of dense wiring, oval and oblong pad is recommended.

4. For plug-in components, in order to avoid copper foil breaking during welding, single-sided connecting disks should be completely covered with copper foil, while double-panel minimum requirements should be teardrops.

5. The organic inserted parts shall be designed as dripping pads along the elbow to ensure that the solder joints at the elbow are full.

6. The welding pad on the large area of copper skin should be chrysanthemum-shaped, without virtual welding.

PCBA board

2. How to properly clean the solder on the board after PCBA welding processing?

After PCBA welding processing, there are usually some residual solder slag left on the circuit board, to clean up these slag will not affect the use of the circuit board. With the development of science and technology and the promotion of technical personnel, the method of cleaning welding slag is various, today Shenzhen PCBA processing manufacturer -kingford for you to introduce the method of cleaning the solder on the circuit board.


Circuit board solder cleaning method

There are two ways to clean the solder on the circuit board. One is to clean the solder on the original circuit board, and the other is to remove the excess solder slag after completing the solder work. It is recommended to use the tin absorber operation.


The first is to clean the solder on the original circuit board

1. First shake off the solder on the soldering iron and melt the solder joint again. Just do it a few times.

2. Find a small piece of multi-strand wire, eat rosin, melt with the solder joint while hot to drain the wire, can put the excess solder away.

3. If large area of solder, use special heat gun or tin furnace.


The second is to clean the excess welding slag after welding

Step 1 Use anhydrous ethanol (or 95% or more alcohol). If it's too dirty, dip a soft bristled brush in the alcohol brush.

2. Then blot with degreased cotton.

3. Use a tin suction device, double panel trouble, welding holes with a hospital needle, after heating iron insert rotation. Or take a piece of flower thread (soft thread) when it is melted and bring it up.

4. There is no tin absorber, which can shake the printing plate quickly after heating to get rid of the tin slag. Please pay attention to safety, and the action range is not too large. When soldering the iron, remove the excess solder of the iron head can be thrown tin.
