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

Pad design - Standard IPC 20 pitch QFP Thermal pad design - Layout the thermal pad 0mm to 0.15mm larger per side (0mm to 0.30mm larger overall) than the exposed die pad on the package. �Larger than�, as opposed to the same size, is preferred. Obvio

Yes, yes, I agree with American man, URL, on all his points about having to know the overall process 1st. I'm surprised he doesn't have his own free consulting website. Other things you can try are: * "Dog-bone" apertures... taper down the apertur

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

| Hi Guys, | | I am going to be graced with the good luck of processing microBGA's in the near future. A bit of a step forward from printing 20-mil pitch and wave soldering 0805's, wouldn't you say? | | So, any of you folks who have already experi

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

Hi Guys, Need your good advice about this for a 5 thou stencil thickness: 0603 pad is 50mil x 40mil 0805 pad is 75mil x 45mil 1206 pad is 70mil x 50mil I want the above apertures to be in IPC STD Homeplate Design + an area reduction of 15%. Will t

Oded: The coatings that I mention serve different purposes. * Antiadhesions seem to be designed to improve paste release from the stencil * Flux repellents seem to be aimed at reducing the under wipe frequency of stencils. At IPC APEX 2013, DEK and
