I recently started at a new company. They have a variety of bare PCB's and most have aprox. 20 variations. Maybe about 1/3 of each board on average are non-populated locations. They buy one stencil for each PCB but then use scotch tape to block of

Boy, does this sound familiar. I agree with Dave, especially his point about board side taping. The kapton tape has a thickness of approximately 2mils. You artificially increase your paste thickness with this method. It also can be a cause for br

One thing everyone missed is what is the goal of the company. To make money!!! So how many boards per week are you shipping now and how many would you be shipping if you had seperate stencils or a DISPENSER. With quality being number one always the

Stephen, I don't understand this at all mate. 1. If you don't place a QFP and get bridging across the bare pads, you were gonna get absolutely horrendous bridging if you did put one down. That points to poor printer set up or stencil design or both

We're with the Ozzy's earlier posting on this thread. We make similar products, like: * Phantom products that are mostly complete and then are configured to order by adding or subtracting a couple of parts and some jumpers. * Version products like y

Hello all, I read about Steve's headache a few articles back and I'm really interested by his tip. However, I'm still wondering why square apertures release solder paste better than round ones. For the same volume of paste, the surface area of the

If you get the stencil made with all apertures included then you can blank some off with sellotape. Saves you buying 2 stencils should you require them machine fitted in the future

I think I'd opt for a stencil with everything already cut and then tape it if that didn't screw up your stencil gasketing. Then you just have to define the process for adding the optional parts and you can decide to use those apertures or not.

Flat surface is the number one choice for fresh part soldering. We did not discuss details about resistor size and location, but to keep them flat I will suggest no apertures on the stencil.
