looking for help with fine-pitch printing for what would be the best settings for printing speed, squeegee pressure, seperation speed. thanks for you time

So, what is the pitch of the part and the pad size, also tell us the thickness of stencil. Russ

I'm having trouble printing leads on a fine pitch part. The lead is only .008". I'm using a DEK 265 with metal squeegee and using WS200 multicore solder paste.The stencil is laser cut and polished. I've experimented with different pressures and diffe

I think he edited his original post.

Go 5 or 6 mil thick with stencil, i am not familiar with that pitch but I would recoomnd a 5mil. Was the thickness in this post before and i missed it? Russ

Hi dwelch123, 8 mils seems a bit thick to me. I would normally go 6 or 5 mil for fine pitch such as this. One other area to check is the the snap off. Are you using the slow snap off or just lowering the board right after print? If so you should

Russ asks good questions and I think Chunks pretty much nailed it. Aspect ratio (aperture width/stencil thickness) s/b 1.2 minimum (I like 1.5 if I can get it). If your aperture width = lead width (.008"), yours is 1. Tough to get consistent paste r

What do others use as far as solder paste type, stencil thickness and aperature size for a .4mm Ball Pitch CSP. Ball diameter is .3mm. Please let me know your thoughts or what you use. Thanks

I don't know your board, but for this specific part: 10mil round aperture on a 3.5mil stencil with type 4 paste wold be ideal

It is recommended that the thickness of the stencil of 0.1mm, the steel mesh should be partially nano-coated. It is best not to dry easily, and the particles are not easy to be too large. I have tried ALLPCB for this kind of BGA in the past and they
