Reference IPC-A-610 Page8-95, Section 8.3.14 Components with Bottom Thermal Plane Terminations. The End overhang of thermalplane is not allowed; check the second bullet in the Defect Class 1, 2, 3section. Keep in mind that the endface of the of the thermal plane may not be solderable due to the constructionof the device, so the solder joint would be on the bottom of the terminationonly as shown on figure 8-175 on page 8-94. Hopethis is useful.
