Manufacturing Defects Caused by Footprints/Land Patterns

PCB footprints and land patterns are largely overlooked but a fundamental step in the design process.

Often, engineers do not realize that their manufacturing defects may be caused by poorly designed land patterns. Delving far beyond the basics, we'll look at the more gnarly errors that trip up engineers and how to prevent costly prototype iterations and delays on your next project by bringing in more verification into your processes.
