Detailed Drawing Of Minimum Ground Pad Size And Location - Intel 810A3 Design Manual

Figure 3-5. Detailed Drawing of Minimum Ground Pad Size and Location
NOTE: NOTE: DRAWING NOT TO SCALE
It is not recommended to use the GRM without the minimum size ground pads in the correct
locations. If the GRM is used without the correct pads, then there is a high risk that the metal clip
that grounds to the motherboard will be touching the solder mask on the top layer of the board, and
possibly short out traces immediately beneath the solder mask, resulting in board failure. The
required thickness of the pad is less than 0.001" (using 1/2 oz copper).
