How to verify if surface mount pad contains solder paste

eDave
The attached code checks that a paste pad is present on all smd non-mechanical pins.

  • This code checks that the paste pad is identical to the soldermask pad. This may not make sense in your environment. It may make more sense to compare the name of the paste pad with the name of the etch pad.

    If you use a different paste pad to any other pad on the pin then the code would need to be altered to just check for the presence of a pad when a soldermask pad exists.

    I can make some changes if you let me know what your typical padstack looks like.

    Cheers, Dave
