We print glue with a thick stencil on one product. Although it works �correctly�, we don�t like it because the process flow is goofy. So on a high mix line, it ends-up being a burden. Also, there is no rocket science behind making the stencils for

You�re correct. The release characteristics of epoxy differ from solder paste. Consider: * Using print/flood stroke, on-contact print cycle. * Printing slow enough to fill the hole with adhesive. * Overcoming the thixotropic [The viscosity of thixo

First, SM-782 elates to surface mount pads. So, expecting to find PTH design rules there is a bit of a stretch. Search the fine SMTnet Archives for similar threads. For instance here�s one from last week: http://www.smtnet.com//forums/index.cfm?fu

Snaggletooth, I spent a good portion of my career fighting solder shorts on BGA's and QFP's, tombstones on 0402's, solderballs on passives, etc.. I've solved just about all those issues, and didn't solely rely on my stencil manufacturer... Your ste

SCREENING... 1. Is type 4 paste necessarily required? [No, not unless you are using it for some other purpose.] 2. Is No-Clean Ok to use? [YES] 3. How thin stencil is required? 5 mils? [5 is OK, but I wouldn�t base the decision on the 0201. 6 mil is

Sure, use of U-shape apertures is another way to reduce the amount of paste that you apply. That and similar schemes mentioned in the article are not a function of the flux used. We have used U-shaped apertures for MELF and mini-MELF. They are sug
