Hi: The component height will increase on the PCB after reflow soldering. But i don't know the accurate data of the increased height. Who can help me to get it? The stencil thickness is 5 mil we used. Thanks Harriss

There are many factors that will affect post soldering height. Lead shape/type, pad geometry, fillet formation, etc... You will need to measure each type of component before and after reflow. Russ

What is the solids content of your solder? 50%??? Then, theoretically, if the aperture is 1:1, you'll have 2 thou of solder on your pads.

Can anyone tell me if there is a formula for finding the after reflow height of solder with no part attached? I have to print some pads that do not have any parts but there can not be more than 1.5mil of solder on the pad after reflow. I am going to

You won't have 2 mil height because the solder doesn't remain brick shaped. It's a dome. In the past I tried doing some calculations using the formula for the volume of a spherical section and also tried using a simulation program that accounts for

All, Has there been any finding from the component point of view in terms of non wets after reflow and if yes, can anyone share what was improved on the component to reduce the non wet defective levels. What would be the contribution from the compon

To most of our boards I give 20-30% tolerance in both directions. From experience if you have big aperture on your stencil, the squeegee will scoop certain amount of paste from this aperture and you will see lower height. Depending on your board supp

m_imtiaz, Over the last 15 years or so I've found that using the stencil foil thickness +2mils/-0mils has worked very well. For example, if you have a 5mil stencil thickness your upper control limit would be 7mils and your lower control limit would

I'm new to SMT. Now, i'm making program for SPI machine to inscpect for solder paste of SP60-MU. I think this is a very good printer but some times, my program shows only 50-60% of volume transfer; and the average height is very high: nearly 200 pct.
