Avoid acute angles between mask and pads which can lead to separation during thermal shock events. Size apertures to provide adequatesolder pastevolumes for assembly. A 0.1mm annular mask dam is common. Specify areas needing tenting over through-holes to prevent solder wicking down barrels. ...
Any areas of the PCB which do not require soldering have a solder mask placed as its top layer. Molten solder won’t stick to epoxy, which is a common type of mask material. Therefore, you have to apply that mask in-between the component pins so as to stop the solder from forming th...
Solder Mask Bridge 1.Solder Mask Bridge: The oil between the two pins of a component is a Solder Bridge, which usually refers to dense IC pins (see figure below). If the pin distance is too small, it is recommended to remove the solder bridge and use the solder opening technique.Industr...

Minimum Solder Dam Size vs. Minimum Solder Mask Sliver Size The minimum solder resist sliver size will limit the solder stop mask expansion opening you can apply for a given lead pitch. If the lead pitch is large enough, then you can always apply a large solder mask expansion without worryin...

Requires greater clearance between pads to prevent mask bridging since mask does not dam solder flow. Copper pad can be dog-bone or dumbbell shaped to allow solder filleting. Pad registration to mask opening is non-critical. Mask just needs to expose pad. ...
