I am looking for an industry standard �stock� note to place on our printed circuit board assembly drawings that will capture a level of cleanliness for an IPC-A-610 class 2 board assembly. I�m looking for some quantitative spec for cleanliness that w

Indium recommendations: 0201's: * Stencil Opening = 11mil x 16mil rectangle * Foot Print = 12mil x 15mil rectangle * Stencil Thickness = 5mils * Spacing = 9mils Note: The most common stencil being utilized, is the laser cut electropolished, and in so

It really depends on pad design and other component on the PCB. Most of the time I run 0201s I have microBGAs on the board and usually print 3mil. Reduction will depend on the paste. For leaded paste you will have reduction (about 10% or so).For Lea

I have a thru-hole PCB that malfunctions when "no clean" flux is left on certain parts of the board. I have specified "the PCB shall have no flux residue". Our state side vendors (we have one offshore -they still use freon to clean) are complaining t

As pointed-out above, the downside of telling your supplier how to perform a process can create problems: * It sets the cost of the operation ... I did what you told me to do * Materials selected may be incompatible ... I did what you told me to do *

No clean flux is really a misnomer. What is often taken to mean no residue in effect means no visible residue. Because you can't see it doesn't mean it isn't here. Many manufacturers have been through this same learning curve. The goal with a no clea

Wayne, Sounds like a gasketing problem. When the horizontal apertures are bleeding but not the vertical apertures. Could be poor underside support, HASL miniscus issues, masking or plugging issues, but what many people do not account for is that t

Yes this is absolutely true. No-clean flux residue has various affects on the functionality of circuitry especially high impedance circuits. It also affects solderability, and reliability. No-clean flux will always leave a detectable residue. Mos
