Hi, We were running with few defects with lead solder paste. The lead solder paste with stencil 0.010" X 0.020" and 0.004" thick stencil produced near defect free PCB assys. 0.010" X 0.020" (0.004" thick) lead = defect free 0.010" X 0.020" (0.005"

I have noticed on a recent project, the QFN and SOP solder deposits do not seem very uniform and have been leaving little balls, whiskers and icicles of solder paste coming from some pads which leads to bridges. https://imgur.com/a/lqw5RF1 I have u

Hi All, I have designed 4 Layer PCB with one 28 pin QFN PKG. I have got complaint from Production that the pads which connected to thermal pads (gnd) thru trace is bridging with solder and because of this bridge, pins are not getting soldered prope

The most part I have the most difficulty with is a 16mil QFN. We found that reducing stencil thickness to 4mil, and reducing aperatures for the IC by 20%, and setting local fiducials to the IC helped immensely. We used to get 75% or more bridged ou

Hi guys, I need your advise on this, I have a very uncommon PCB design (at least for me, I've never seen anything like this...) it is 32" x 18" x 0.062" and has 9 QFNs that are driving me crazy, I'm not able to get a good alignment, I can get a mediu

Hello, I searched the forums and found little specific info on LGAs with interior lands. This is not a QFN with a center pad. This is a multi-row BGA without solderballs. I'm looking for recommendations on PCB land to part land ratio, stencil a

Well if you are getting bridges under, one thing that we used to do was flood the part with flux and then run it back through the reflow. Keep in mind we were not a High reliability manufacturer. This practice didn't hurt OUR boards, and most of the

I successfully inspect solder on plcc's with angled cameras on the yestech we have. In the past I have successfully inspected for solder with angled cameras on mirtec machines for both plcc's and qfn's. Other than inspecting solder on those two types

How wide are your pads? What paste are you using? What is your board finish? Could you please post a link to the datasheet for the component? We place a lot of MLFs, both in a Pb and Pb-free process. Our standard stencil design for MLF compon

As a CM, we don’t have a lot of input on the PCB layouts we receive. Some engineers/software packages output the paste layer 1 to 1, some do an across the board reduction, and some set each part up individually with different reductions per footprin
