Vishay's DFN DIODES package contributes to mounting inspection

  • Vishay, which develops a variety of power circuit components, has released the DFN3820A/DFN33A, space-saving, high-power density leadless DIODES packages.
    This page introduces the lineup of Vishay's leadless DIODES packages, touching on the features of these packages and the AOI capabilities they enable.

  • Features

  • DFN (Dual Flat no lead) is a space-saving, high-power density DIODES package.
    This package has a low profile of 0.88 mm and is equipped with a general rectifier DIODES, fast recovery DIODES, Schottky DIODES, and TVS DIODES.
    The package also features wettable flank TERMINALS, allowing for AOI inspection. Furthermore, the DFN3820/DFN33A are designed for automotive use and comply with AEC-Q101 and the stricter Vishay Automotive Grade.

    Use Cases for Vishay Leadless DIODES Packages

    As shown in the diagram below, Vishay's leadless DIODES packages are expected to be used in a variety of fields, including automotive, DC/DC freewheeling DIODES, consumer electronics, industrial equipment, computers, and communications.

    Vishay DFN Package Use Cases

    Wettable Frank and AOI

  • Normally, leadless packages do not have solder fillets that rise sufficiently, making it impossible to visually inspect the soldering. However, if TERMINALS have wettable flanks, the soldering can be visually inspected, even though the package is leadless. This allows for AOI (Analysis of Inspection) mounting inspection. The optimal PCB design and reflow process for the DFN3820A and DFN33A can be found at the link below.

  • What is AOI?

    AOI (Automatic Optical Inspection) is a method of inspecting a mounted area using a camera, analyzing the images, and checking the position of components, the appropriateness of solder fillets, etc.
    AOI enables faster and cheaper testing than conventional methods, and because it does not require physical contact with the board, it contributes to high-density mounting by reducing the contact space.In addition, there is no wear associated with contact, so long-term high reliability can be expected.
