Well, another alternative is to use a water washable flux. If you insist on staying with a NC flux, use one that is probable. We prefer to probe solder, rather than copper.

0. Any less and you are scooping the paste from the aperture with the squeegee blades. I'm not saying that either of these situations is a good or a bad thing, it's just that if you buy a 6 mil stencil, you are trying to achieve 6 mil paste height.

Need more information. BUT if your strictly considering just the paste change. I would imagine your changeover would be little to no different than changing to the second board if you were using the same paste. Maybe take extra care cleaning your sq

First, in direct answer to your question, DOE printer setup variables (MPM): * Squeegee speed: 0.5 to 1.0 in/sec * Pressure (metal): 1lb/in of blade * Pressure (plastic): 1.6-3 lb/in Second, supprting earlier responses, most people monitor paste hei

| I discovered that we have some gold plated (30 mico in.) through hole connectors which were Paste In Hole soldered (60 sec at reflow) on a HASL PCB. Do we have an embrittlement reliability issue? The calculated volume % of gold in the joints is abo

First, there is no good justification for getting solder on gold fingers. Second, it is well known that solder on gold fingers is unacceptable. So, shipping boards with that condition indicates sloppy quality practices at your CM. Third, that being

Now that we know where you've been and what you wish to accomplish next, I can still give you some suggestions. 1. Get IPC-7912. Use it to evaluate your CM's. Especially if you have multiple contractors supplying like products. You will quickly see

Similar to Coop's comments, above ... Bridging: * Mis-placement: misplaced components, high placement force mushrooms paste * Too much paste: HASL thickness, lead finish, poor underside support, poor underside wipe frequency, printing with too lar

It is the solder ball that's usually encountered in a reflow process. It's just that, the paste did not wet well along the connector pins. Before reflow, the paste is actually at the tip of the connector, and stayed there and never went up to fill th
