Zulfiqar, The company that makes these stencils is a Canadian company named KJ Marketing (I'll paste a link to the web site in this message). It sounds pretty interesting. I've communicated with a few people that have used these stencils and the

I have had a similar problem in the past, since I have never worked with a semiautomatic printer there could be a few things I recommend that will not work for you. 1. Make absolutly sure that you have proper support under all of the BGA's. 2. Print

Hi: Your stencil specs are good; Did you check the stencil thickness? It would be worth a ck since there may be an error from the stencil mfr If the paste is not releasing with good stencil specs, these are possible causes: 1 The paste isn't tou

We're considering stenciling SMT adhesive to increase throughput. This is an as-of-yet unproven process and for that matter pcb design (we've never done anything with more than about 50 SMT parts on the bottom, this board has in excess of 1200, but

Hi Christina, What would you be basing the yields off of? Is it solder defect, component placement, etc....? I have worked for a flex house for quite a few years. You are right. The Polyimide is very dimentionally unstable. (even more so on humid da

Good info, thanks for passing along. The company I work for (equipment supplier) ran some tests with lead free material in air and N2 environements for reflow. In the air reflow environement it was noticed that the material does not spread, much li

Silicone-based coatings "repel" most foreign,non-compatible materials like peelable solder mask, and rubber or vinyl boots. The result is, uncured material around the vicinity of where the boot was. Trust me. Been there and done that. As a rookie

One thing I have run into when placing cap's flush to the board is blow holes due to the plastic sheathing used around the cap. It would form a gasket going through wave and exhaust out of the holes therefore blowing the solder out with it. This cap
