I typically use kapton tape when I need to mask off some apertures.

I work with small batches and this is what I do. However I don't do it because of the paste. Instead I do it because I am the sole operator on the line and I want one process finished so I can keep a better eye on the others. I specifically work with

Does anyone know the name of a smalll handheld device that cleans stencils? One looks like a palm sander and it vibrates the paste out of apertures. Thanks, Johnny Smith

We agree with Russ. * Haven't used them in 10+ years. * Size of keepout for the stepped apertures needs to be large. * Manipulating aperure size to manage paste volume for specific components is not difficult.

Hi russ, thanks for answers, I thought that playing with apertures was the solution if paste is able to lose from the screen with fine pitches. But I'll take in consideration all of your remarks for the next designs to be develloped.

You could reduce the paste by about 70%. Solder balling and tombstoning will be the issues to fight. The drivers to these don't change with the component size. Use the fine SMTnet Archives for background. Aperture Size and Thickness of Solder Pas

We are about to do a second iteration of something we struggled mightily with last time and I'm hoping to at least make a step in the right direction. There are 12 of these parts on the board and virtually all of them required removal and replacemen

Jack: Two concerns with column devices: 1 Coplaniarity of the device and the board. 2 Adequate solder that you mentioned, becuase the columns will not be reflowing and you need to cloatthem with solder. You didn't describe your aperture, but even

I wouldn't recommend a metal squeegee, because if you can't wipe the step-etched area completely clean (that's the problem with metal) you'll have problems with the definition of the fine-pitch (it may stick in the holes). Best is a 70 Shore polyuret
