1.2 Recommended Metal Solder Stencil Aperture
It is recommended that a 0.11 mm (0.004 inches) thick
stencil be used for solder paste printing. Aperture
opening for shield pad is 0.4mm x 0.4mm and 0.2mm x
0.4mm (as per land pattern). This is to ensure adequate
printed solder paste volume and no shorting.

1.3 Adjacent Land Keepout and Solder Mask Areas
Adjacent land keep-out is the maximum space occupied
by the unit relative to the land pattern. There should be
no other SMD components within this area.
The minimum solder resist strip width required to avoid
solder bridging adjacent pads is 0.2 mm.
Note: Wet/Liquid Photo-Imageable solder resist/mask is recommended.
