Q1. What is the recommended stencil thickness to apply the proper amount of solder for 0603 components? A1. The proper amount of solder is determined by: * Metal content of the solder paste. * Stencil thickness. * Aperture opening. * Other factors,

Yes, yes, I agree with American man, URL, on all his points about having to know the overall process 1st. I'm surprised he doesn't have his own free consulting website. Other things you can try are: * "Dog-bone" apertures... taper down the apertur

"Poor release" (paste hanging-up in the stencil holes) could have three main (or combination of) causes: 1 Equipment * Proper aperture area ratio provide better release * Laser cut release better than chemical etched stencil 2 Process * Snap-off dis

I found this searching the archives. Unfortunately Bob doesn't seem to have an active site anymore, just references by people he works for. It's a shame, because there was a load of good stuff there. Haven't looked at Phil's site for a while but it's

BGA require placement accuracy of only 0.3mm (�12 thou), compared with a required placement accuracy of 0.08mm (�3 thou) for fine pitch devices. Even with this level of misalignment, plastic BGA self-center / self-correct during reflow due to symmetr

Deon Response: Hello Will, Yes, you can reflow a double sided board using 63/37 solder paste on both sides. There are some limitations as far as the mass of the components to reflow the second time. If you have doubts or are concerned that a compone
