I've never placed one of these before, but it looks like a poorly designed part. It has pads scattered asymmetrically around the body of the part. when it reflows this is going to apply uneven forces to the component, causing it to skew. I guess hav

I am finding if I have to stop the pick and place machine during production very often (mostly due to feeders not pulling the tape cover back), I get paste drying in the apertures of the stencil. To avoid this I am thinking of pasting all the boards

Kapton works great, but note that Kapton is about 2.5 mils thick, so if you are placing it near other apertures, you are essentially adding to the thickness of your stencil. I've also used some Kapton near parts that need a bit more paste, like co

I was looking for an stencil design for a 0.5mm pitch uBGA. Pad size is 0.38mm in diameter. We have been using 5mil stencil with type 3 no clean paste. What size aperture should we be using? Any suggestions?

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,

We do like Chunks says only a little bit different. Our stencil supplier e-mails us a "confirmation PDF" before processing any order. If it's a simple board, I just make sure all the apertures are there by comparing to board. If it's got a ton of

We had a great deal of trouble cleaning adhesive residue from stencils using an alcohol stencil washer. Same kind of thing, adhesive build-up in aperture corners. The solution we came up with was to convert our stencil washer to run Zestron ES200, a

Is there any software to design the stencil openings? It may be including automatic modify the aperture,monitoring aspect ratio and area ratio,even let you know the whole vloume of the opening and average ratio?because the stencil design is more impo

Aperture size should vary with the component [pitch]. That size should be the same a the pad size. So, generally pinching is not required. Indium discusses BGA apertures on their site [ http://www.indium.com ]
