6.7 Customer PCB Design
6.7.1 PCB Surface Finish
The PCB surface finish recommended is Electroless Nickel, immersion Gold (ENIG).
Organic Solderability Preservative (OSP) may also be used, ENIG preferred.
6.7.2 PCB Pad Design
To achieve assembly yields and solder joints of high reliability, it is recommended that
the PCB pad size be designed as follows:

6.7.3 Solder Mask
NSMD is recommended. In addition, the solder mask of the NSMD pad design is
larger than the pad so the reliability of the solder joint can be improved.
The solder mask must be 100 µm–150 µm larger than the pad, that is, the single side
of the solder mask must be 50 µm–75 µm larger than the pad. The specific size
depends on the processing capability of the PCB manufacturer.
