Steve, I use homebase apertures as a standard for all chip parts and have no complaints, no solder beading, no issues. I have had to replace almost all stencils ordered previous to my arrival as they all caused defects (7-9mil thickness and 1:1

Can't agree more than moving over to Homebase apertures, But ensure that the cut back angle is correct,to acute of and angle will leave you with an inadequate contact area fot the terminations on the chip components and you will start seeing insuffic

I agree that homplate is a good design, but also this could be caused by the stencil thickness and aperture size, if you are at 7-9 mils thick stencil and a 1:1 ratio on aperture size then 2 things i know of will happen, one a squishing out of past o

We are having a random problem with boards bowing significantly. Its a large through hole board with only one QFP on it. The bowing occurs during the SMT reflow. The only conclusion I can come to is a problem at the board house that made it. I just w

650 Standards are also located in the back of IPC JSTD-001. I am currently looking at 4 pages on bow and twist. Percent bow = R1-R2/L x 100 (R1= Highest point; R2=lowest or resting point; l= length) Percent twist=(R1-R2)/(2xL)x 100 Sorry if this is

I am placing a plastic Cypress, 256 pin BGA on a small assembly, and I cannot stop the corners from bowing. I've moved my profile up and down with no results. Any suggestions?

i think you need to use a PCB central support. do you know that part ? it specializes in preventing PCB board from bowing during wave soldering.

You may want to look at IPC 7721 Method 3.2 Bow and Twist Repair. In extreme cases you may need clamp or weight the pcb with bow in the other direction to yield a "flat" pcb in the unrestrained state. You will have to take the PCB up to or slightly

Allowable bow & twist: Together, both IPC-A-600G and IPC-6012B represent the core IPC documents for describing the acceptable and nonconforming conditions that are either externally or internally visible on finished printed boards. IPC-A-600G relies
