[[[User:Nelatan|Nelatan]] (talk) 19:42, 27 September 2008 (UTC)] expanded the section of QFN. Added couple of figures and explanation regarding what a QFN is? and its applications and designs.(Nelatan (talk) 19:45, 27 September 2008 (UTC))[reply]

So the figure at the top shows a Motorola logo, but says its a Freescale product? That is weird. Anon. 11 Aug. 2009 —Preceding unsigned comment added by 205.179.178.130 (talk) 20:53, 11 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

merge[edit]

Since a QFN package is the same thing as a MLF package, I suggest merging the MicroLeadFrame into the QFN article. --68.0.124.33 (talk) 02:27, 15 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I agree. From what I understand, MLF is Amkor's commercial name for their implementation of the QFN standard. --HelgeStenstrom (talk) 14:03, 15 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Seconded. If merged, we should of course note that MLF is an alternative name for QFN. Seantellis (talk) 14:47, 15 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I agree; they seem identical Henk.muller (talk) 19:28, 3 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Found another page on the same topic - Micro Leadframe Package. It seems to be the same again? I took replicated the image from that page, it is much higher resolution than the current picture, which is also confusing (is it freescale or Motorola?). Suggest to remove the reference to the low res image. Henk.muller (talk) 09:16, 4 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

SON package[edit]

i think another name for those packages is SON, but i am not 100% sure. AmenophisIII (talk) 02:36, 24 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Indeed, there is an incoming link from Son (disambiguation), pointing here from "SON, Small-Outline No leads". That terminology should be explained in the article. -- Beland (talk) 16:26, 9 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Sockets?[edit]

There are sockets for QFN/VGFN for use in test fixtures ( see http://multimedia.3m.com/mws/mediawebserver?mwsId=SSSSSufSevTsZxtUoYt958_1evUqevTSevTSevTSeSSSSSS--&fn=CD2468.pdf_ ) but are there any for ordinary board mounting?

Page move[edit]

I moved this page today from Quad flat no-leads package to Flat no-leads package, as this article appears to describe many kinds of flat no-leads package, not just quad ones. I think this was the right thing to do, but let me know, mentioning me (by linking to my user page), below if it wasn't. Ml242 (talk) 13:28, 3 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Exposed thermal pad - Redirects to misleading article[edit]

The introduction mentions that exposed/thermal pads can be found on many QFN-packages.

The linked article to Thermally conductive pad however describes the materials like silicone thermal pads used to provide a low thermal resistance interface between different materials, e.g. heatspreaders or exposed pads and heatsinks.

As this can be potentially confusing for people who are not familiar with electronics packaging, I suggest deleting this link here. Porridge3893 (talk) 08:21, 30 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]
