Subject: Re: tqfp package with TT?

From: "Phil" <phil1960us@...>

I have no trouble with 10 mil traces with TT. You might want to just
try it out. 12 mil pads, 8 mil seperation could do it. I suspect
aligning the package will be a bit tricky but bet its doable. solder
wick is your friend here, unless you have a reflow oven.
