Steve, I use homebase apertures as a standard for all chip parts and have no complaints, no solder beading, no issues. I have had to replace almost all stencils ordered previous to my arrival as they all caused defects (7-9mil thickness and 1:1

James, The problem is probably the result of a low quality thin walled frame. The company that originally came up with this design uses a 1/8 " wall frame. This frame does not bow at the standard 40 Ncm tension. There are thinner walled "knock off

I just flew in from (insert city) and boy are my arms tired. pr: Likely, you're correct. The "pound-inch" units should have been the give-away, for us. Good catch. If this is the case, the frame fabricator would be the best source for tensioning

Dave, May I ask where did you find the 1.5%, or the goal of .005" (or .007") per inch? The IPC-A-600 bow and twist standard calls for a .75% based on the calculation of the test method TM-650, method 2.4.22, which calculates the percentage based on

Hi all, We got some bare pwb in our incoming inspecion looked really wrapped. The maximum twist of the pwb we messured is 0.056inch by following the method in IPC-TM-650 2.4.22 C. (The diagonal size of our pwb is 7.5inch) According to the IPC standa

Without drilling through the numbers, they're probably correct. Recognize that standard warp / twist specs [IPC-A-610 1.5% for PTH only and 0.75% for SMT] are not going to make it on tech boards. You need to define specific requirements. This warp

Allowable bow & twist: Together, both IPC-A-600G and IPC-6012B represent the core IPC documents for describing the acceptable and nonconforming conditions that are either externally or internally visible on finished printed boards. IPC-A-600G relies

650 Standards are also located in the back of IPC JSTD-001. I am currently looking at 4 pages on bow and twist. Percent bow = R1-R2/L x 100 (R1= Highest point; R2=lowest or resting point; l= length) Percent twist=(R1-R2)/(2xL)x 100 Sorry if this is

Dougie- We,too, have the IPC-A-600F, and the spec. refers to IPC-TM-650 test method in the back of the book. Look on page Number 2.4.22 of the test methods appendix. This outlines the procedure for determining the percentage of bow and twist,
