Dimension Examples for QFN

Reference symbols and dimension examples

TerminologyReference SymbolDescription
Nominal dimensionsD x ECombination of package length D and package width E
Package lengthDLargest dimension of the package length excluding terminals
Package widthELargest dimension of the package width excluding terminals
Overall lengthHD
or
HD
Length from the tip of the terminal to another tip of the terminal on the opposite side
Overall widthHE
or
HE
Width from the tip of the terminal to another tip of the terminal on the opposite side
Seating planeSThe surface determined when the package is placed on a horizontal surface
Datum surface AACalculated by crossing 2 straight lines by the Least Squares Method from both lengthwise and then widthwise terminal center positions, then making the X axis (lengthwise) surface datum A.
Datum surface BBCalculate by crossing 2 straight lines by the Least Squares Method from both the widthwise and lengthwise terminal center positions, then making the Y axis (widthwise) surface datum B.
Seated heightAHeight from the seating plane to the highest point of the package ( including package warp )
1st standoff heightA1Distance from the seating plane to the base plane
Terminal pitcheTerminal pitch. This represents theoretical reference dimension.
Terminal widthbWidth of terminal with plating
Terminal widthb1Width of terminal before plating
Length of soldered partLpEffective projected length of terminal attachment defined
Tolerance value of terminal center positionM markPositional tolerance for center axis of the terminal defined by the datum S (seating plane) , A and B.
Using the maximum material principle, show the tolerance for maximum terminal width. When terminal width is narrow, allowable tolerance is increased by the difference with the maximum width.
CoplanarityyUniformity of the bottom-most surface of the terminal relative to the datum S (seating plane).
Parallelism of package top surfacey1Parallelism of package top surface relative to the datum S (seating plane).
Positional tolerance of terminal tipstPositional tolerance for tips of terminal defined by the datum S (seating plane), A and B.
Terminal thicknesscThickness of each terminal(including plating)
Terminal thicknessc1Thickness of terminal before plating
Package overhangZD
or
ZD
Distance from the true position of the outer-most terminal to the package edge
Package overhangZE
or
ZE
Distance from the true position of the outer-most terminal to the package edge
Die pad lengthD2Length of die pad
Die pad widthE2Width of die pad
