The Alpha metals Hi Check 500 is used to measure paste deposit thickness. The paste height is found from a micrometer reading determined by focussing a beam of light on a track adjacent to a paste deposit and then onto the solder paste. I've measure

On SMTnet, we've discussed the the frailties of controlling paste height, when volume is a more telling measure. Sometimes if you seperate too quickly, the paste tries to stay attached to the aperture walls. This creates a 'U' shaped deposit with r

Thanks Wolfgang / Charles Have tried method suggested by Wolfgang on one product, and seem to be a bit over (perhaps density calculation was a bit out). Also, the volume of paste deposited must be less than the voume of the apetures on the stencil b

Don't blame it on the poor paste thickness requirement [although I might go on to argue that it's could be a contributor to the issue]. Most likely you're the problem. About 70% of the time solder on gold fingers is caused by poor cleaning of screen

We expect to see a copper shadow along the edge of pads when soldering boards with organic solderability protection [OSP]. IPC-A-610 has defined this as acceptable for years. During early reflow stages, the flux in paste dissolves the OSP where ther

You could use a stepped stencil around the parts you're having issues with to add a greater paste deposit to them and not the rest, or slightly elongate the apertures and overprint, but this may lead to solder balling.

Dont forget, if you dont want to print paste and deal with the challenges of placing components in wet paste, solid solder deposit can save you the cost of the stencil printer, while offering better first pass yields than traditional methods. It just
