Anyone know of a maximum solder overprint formula? I need to overprint a 0.011" wide aperture but want to go out to 0.050" overprint. This seems extreme, but necessary as I can't go out in width due to numerous issues. It seems like one could come

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

Good afternoon, You should use overprint technique if you have any problems with paste volume (PIH technology and mixed designs, for instance). Otherwise, it is useless. Overprint has to be made in such way so that paste would have an ability to flo

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

Fabricators take different approaches in developing paste that is more or less prone to solder balling. That being said, you should be able to overprint 250 thou, no problem. Prove this to be correct by printing paste on a scrap board with an obsol

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

With two rows, you can overprint to the outside to make up the solder volume. It's when you have rows in the middle that things get tough. A good stencil house should already have overprint libraries for this.

Overprint, that is putting extra solder on with the stencil that is even further out from the pads, with the idea that it will suck that solder up during reflow? I could give that a try. Are there any general recommendations when overprinting? And wh

I almost always go with an overprint as long as it's feasible. I haven't had much problem with solder-balling when overprinting. I'd give it a try and see how it works for you.

sorry..it s 40 mils...pitch,...but stencil aperture is square...ANY COMMENTS.. THANKS RUSS...
