Good afternoon, Due to problems with power connector soldering I have to overprint paste on pads for this connector. Stencil thickness is 125um and I cannot make it thicker. Area ratio of chip resistor assemblies limits stencil thickness to 125um. R

How about a stepped stencil? Not ideal but ... As far as overprinting goes, try: http://www4.uic.com/wcms/WCMS2.nsf/index/Resources_44.html

Would say about the same as above, 8mm according to a cookson presentation we had, of course it would depend a bit on the paste you are using.

Normally, we try to limit the over print of the paste to the width of the pad on both sides. If you are using 500um pad, then I wouldn't try over a 1500um aperture. Mario Scalzo, CSMTPE, Dartmouth 6 Sigma Green Belt Technical Support Engineer - Ind

Successful solder paste overprint is a function of the solder paste rheology, solder mask and through hole component stand off. * Solder mask with a high surface energy will permit a larger overprint than a solder mask with a lower surface energy. In

Hi Pavel, We regularly use over printing on a multitude of problem parts including fine pitch QFP's. In an Automotive Environment the only thing you can change without a mountain of paperwork is the stencil. best way to work out how much you can get

Caurbach, Higher preheat and longer dwelltime will fix your problem.

We agree with all of what Patrick has said. Hopefully your equipment is capable of the ideal setup you describe with no back flow until the product hits the wave and then back flow until the product emerges the other side. One other reason to strive

A question for all you wave experts out there: We run our wave with a constant flow over the back plate. I know it's recommended that we set the back plate so that the solder sits just at the top of the back plate with surface tension keeping it fr

Our new Soltec Delta 3 has this feature (they call it mainwave pushup) where you can add up to 60 rpm to the pump after the leading edge passes over the wave. Unfortunately, our old Delta Wave doesn't have this feature. Ideally we'd like to set it
