ABSTRACT:
A circuit board has a layer of non-conductive material, and a set of soldering pads disposed on the layer of non-conductive material. The set of soldering pads defines a common axis that extends substantially through a midline of each soldering pad. Each soldering pad has, as measured perpendicularly through the common axis, an inner width, a first edge width and a second edge width. The inner width is longer than each of the first and second edge widths. Additionally, the first edge width is longer than the second edge width. Accordingly, the pads have less corner spaces that could otherwise, with melted solder, draw a circuit board component into an incorrect orientation which would result in incorrect mounting of the component. As a result, the component terminals tend to be drawn toward central regions of each pad for robust and reliable solder joint formation.
