QUESTIONSEmmett Redd of Half Way, Mo., writes: I am soon to release my first surface mount printed circuit board design to a manufacturing house. A component in the design has been discontinued and a possible substitute will fit on the currently designed pads, but each pad is three to four times as large as specified for the new part; the new part's pins will rest on ends of the pads nearest to the part's center. The pads are 4.1 x 1.5 mm and the recommended pads are 1.2 x 1.5 mm. Will there be a problem with the excess solder paste on the pads that the part's pins don't need? Thank you.
