  • Patent number: 6383603
    Abstract: A printed wiring board with an increased strength of solder is provided by preventing solder bridge formation and increasing the amount of solder adherent thereto. A land (1) serving as a soldering foundation is formed in a star-shape, to minimize the proximal peripheral length (L2) between adjacent lands spaced distance (L1) apart, thus reducing the possibility of solder bridge formation. Since the star-shaped land (1) has a greater area than a rhombic land of identical size, the amount of solder adherent thereto is greater than that of the rhombic land, thus enabling to increase the strength of solder.
