TPS92662-Q1: Package tolerances

Part Number: TPS92662-Q1

Regarding soldering QFP-48 package of the TPS92662-Q1

In the Datasheet there is a lead to Package height tolerance given of 50-150µm. Since the package has thermal pad, this tolerance has impact on solder print volume requirements.

We see with the recommended stencil design a large variation in post-reflow solder coverage at thermal pad, which is close to 50% (IPC recommends >50%) for lead gap of ~120µm

 

How can we ensure this height variation will not lead to

A: less than 50% thermal pad coverage if lead gap is 150µm

B: solder balling at thermal pad due to too high solder volume at 50µm gap
