Does anyone know of any interchangeable stencil frame systems? We use Alpha's Metals Smart Frame system,but it is heavy and cumbersome. Also, are there any quality issues that prove the interchangeable system is not as repeatable as the permanently

Anyone know of a paste supplier that can provide the 42Sn/1Ag/57Bi alloy? Supposedly HP has done some work with this specific alloy and we would like to evaluate it. Neither Alpha Metals or Kester can supply it.

Alpha Metals sells a paste developed especially for 0201's and 0.5 mm pitch BGA's. I have no idea if if does what it promises, but it might be worth to give it a try. See http://www.alphametals.com/omnixsolder/pdfs/OM_6106.PDF
