Well everything Graham said with some additional points.. You mention manual printing but very little about your stencil or setup. Everything you have said indicates a very limited budget has been expended, however what you have is an extreme exampl

measuring Paste volume or at least paste height is an essencial part of any SMT process. You've got to control those input's.... Paste volume determines how much solder is available for your joint so theres a direct to joint reliability / PCB reliabi

I need to know if there are any special component pad designs that need to be considered when evaluating paste-in-hole? We have a few through hole connectors that are good candidates to place pre reflow. Does anyone have sugguestions. Thanks Chri

We always apply solder paste to either the PCB pads or the BGA balls. I have found that only using liquid or tacky flux does not always ensure proper wetting of the pads. Also The BGA sits closer to the PCB making cleaning and endoscopic inspection

It should be noted that some of the main reasons to change from manual cleaning to automated stencil cleaning are: � Manual cleaning is not consistent � quality is totally in the operators hands � Contamination left on the stencil and in the aperture

Challenges: The basic defects that impact assembly yield are bridging, satellite solder balls, and opens (i.e. tombstones / draw bridges). There are many variables with the stencil printing process that can impact these; several of them are listed

I am assembling a board with 2 x ALTERA FineLine PBGA devices. (256-pin and 100-pin) These devices have: surface pad size = 0.41mm (16) ball size = 0.48mm (18.9) ball pitch = 1.0mm (40) For my FIRST attempt I screen printed a fine pitch water solub

Hello Kris If you do have and OSP coating I'd say Curtis has nailed it. But you seem to have references to gold. Does this board have a standard nickle/gold finish. If so what sort of "solder on gold" problems were you having? Reading between the
