Hi all, I have the notion that according to the IPC the abbreviation (or general suffix) _HS should stand for Heat Sink requiring additional holes or pads. Kind regards, Bert Timmerman. On Tue, 2007-11-20 at 16:18 -0500, Steven Michalske wrote: When i have made hand soldering pads for QFP

In the geda JEDEC library, they use M for maximum pads, and L for least pads. http://www.delorie.com/pcb/smd-challenge/fp-pix/ ___ geda-user mailing list geda-user@moria.seul.org http://www.seul.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/geda-user

Hello, some footprint outlines suggested by manufactures are only useful for automatic hot air soldering (ie. DFN14 of LTC4088 from Linear). For hand soldering extended pads are necessary -- so I will create two versions. How should I name the official (manufacturer) and the extended

I asked the same question a few months ago and didn't think the Nominal/Maximal/Least names where suitable for my hand soldered footprints. For the hand soldered footprints the pads extend way past what is in the maximal JDEC footprint. I decided to just postscript HS onto the end of the

When i have made hand soldering pads for QFP with the center pad I used the HS for hand solder, because it is not truly the M for maximum and would conflict with a true JEDEC M my QFP with pad hand solder has a pin placed in the center of the pad to allow for applying heat through the via and
