Just one minor point to bear in mind, most stencils have tapered apertures. If you want to get really accurate volumes you will need to work put the volume based on the taper of the walls. Probably going to far but at least you can sound knowledgeab

When we DOE a board, we use the following independent print variables: * Print pressure * Print speed * Separation speed * Aperture orientation * Squeegee hardness

Any aperture/stencil thickness suggestion to provide a rigid solder joint for 0.8mm pitch PBGA with 0.4mm ball diameter. The pad is based on IPC7095 and it is 0.3mm. Thank!

Steve i agree with u. we use kapton tapes for test puproses at our facility and they do not interfere with the printing results. Infact we sometimes use it to mask off unwanted apertures on stencil underside. But could their applcation affect the gol

If there is no specific quality reason, stay with paste. More processes you add, more points of failure. They don't need a lot of paste to get attached to the board. The ones I used were 8mil round apertures, so I did cut 1:1 on a 3 mil coated stenci

I have recently completed a HUGE screen-printing DOE. I used Taguchi methodology and man I got good results! Here is what I learned for what it's worth: (p.s. to the MPM apps guy I sent a copy to Tim Gillis, Lou Fuda, etc...) EFab vs. Laser: EFab

Once you know what your print should look like, means you have found the right apertures, stencil thickness, stencil finish and the right printer adjustments and alignments, the main things to watch for or better to control when printing is in progre

| My stencil thickness is 6 mil and we got qfp's with fine pitch. | how many percent should i reduce my stencil aperture using a 6 mil stencil for 0.5 mm pitch and 0.4 mm pitch ? | | thanks | Greg: I was going to link you to the IPC land pattern c

The stencil is 5 mil thick and the aperture is 12 mil sq. We found open but can't detect by x-ray. The process which we are using is no clean TIN/LEAD. Just thinking the ball size variance from 0.35~0.45mm per IPC-7095, in worst case scenarios, th

Joshua, 100um is 4mil aperture. You should ask several stencil houses about the possibility to print that small amount of paste(type 6 paste is available now with very small solder spheres 5-15um diameter). Even applying small amount(thin layer of f
