Common package types and their respective naming conventions are listed below.
SOT23 Form Factor Packages (EIA SOT & JEITA SC)
Note: All footprint dimensional values are Nominal except Height is Maximum
Land Pattern Naming Convention: Each land pattern in IPC-7351 is specified by a unique name that must convey the package family type, pin quantity, pin pitch, body length and width dimensions, terminal lead span, terminal lead length and width and thermal pad dimensions whenever applicable. Other fields in a land pattern name are optional and are discussed below. The following notes provide guidance on using the tables above. Specific characters are reserved for use in the naming convention to denote or separate certain fields:
Additional notes:
Additional and Optional Fields: The suffix letters "L", "M", and "N" are used to signify when the land protrusion is at their minimum (least), maximum (most), or median (nominal) protrusion and appear as the last character. The 3 Density Levels are defined as follows:
If no Density Level suffix is provided, then the land pattern either follows the component manufacturer's recommended pattern or a custom land pattern for use with multiple component manufacturer’s packages in the same component family. Additional suffices for JEDEC Standard parts that have several alternate packages are as follows: AA, AB, AC JEDEC Component Identifier (used primarily on Semiconductor packages). Additional suffixes for alternate components that do not follow the JEDEC standard are as follows (these are located before the Density Level suffix): "A" - Alternate Component letter is used when component package nominal dimensions are the same for two packages but the package tolerances are different enough to create a unique land pattern to avoid land pattern name duplication. Ball Grid Array (BGA) packages may require land pattern names that indicate a difference in pitch between balls in the rows vs. balls in the columns. These are often referred to as a “dual pitch BGA”. For example, the BGA land pattern name of BGA48C80X100P6X8_900X1200X120 conveys that the pitch 0.80 mm between columns and 0.10 mm between rows. Note: In this example, Pin A1 is assumed to be located in the Lower left when viewing the package from the top view. A 90 rotation of the BGA swaps the definition of Rows and Columns. A pin order or pin quantity modifier shall be added to the component package type specification to convey reverse pin ordering, hidden pins, or deleted pins.
Land Pattern Naming for Non-conforming Packages: A large number of component packages are unique, non-standard packages or unique connectors. These component packages do not fit into a standard land pattern name due to their unique features. Therefore, in order to have a single land pat tern naming convention that covers every component package in the electronics industry, the land pattern name must be associated with the component manufacturer and their part number or case code as shown below: ManufacturerNameAbbreviation_ManufacturerPartNumber or ManufacturerNameAbbreviation_ManufacturerCaseCode All special characters used in the part number will be replaced with a hyphen "-" except periods "." will be replaced with an underscore "_". If the component package or connector is unique and has a single manufacturer part number, then Part Number would be used to generate the Land Pattern Name The component is a standard package and is associated with multiple manufacturer part numbers then manufacturer Case Code would be used to generate the Land Pattern Name Examples: FOXCONN_JFM38U1A-2PVT-4F TI_RKG41 CK_CRD16CM0SB MOLEX_67503-1020 MAXIM_L1053-H2 ABRACON_ABM11 SAMTEC_QTH-060-01-L-D-A CUI_SJ-3566AN AMPHENOL_101-00565-64 For reference, various unique footprints are shown below that are non-conforming with Tables above. This is the footprint of SAMTEC_QTH-060-01-L-D-A, an connector with plated mounting and non-plated alignment holes. ![]() |
