I also heard of a company considering a patent on aperture design. The aperture was a "chevron" aperture, very similar to the "V" shaped aperture recently touted in SMT magazine, presumably for the purpose of reducing solder balls. Go figure!

Let me get this straight. You have large apertures for some reason? If this is the case you could try making the aperture like a screen, many small apertures to support the blade, rather than one large aperture that allows the blade to deflect.

Steve: There are guidelines for determining if your aperture has the correct proportions to the foil thickness. Maybe that�s what you�re looking for: 1 Aspect ratio = aperture width/foil thickness Chemically etched SB GT 1.5 Laser cut SB GT 1.2

I meant aperture width and stencil thickness, not land width and aperture width. Sheesh.

Igmar, Although I agree with Chrys that square is good,( Better volumn ) his explanation is not entirely correct. Heres a little insert from automata: With square apertures, solder paste is deposited at the center of the aperture. The center release

10mil square apertures should be ok with your 4mil stencil.

What is the area ratio for the aperture? What size paste are you using? Stencil thickness & aperture size?

You did not provide the stencil thickness or your aspect ratio. If your aspect ratio (Aperture width/stencil thickness) is less than 1.5, the paste will not release correctly from the aperture, leaving paste in the aperture. For example, if your pa
