Folks thanks for all the info, I'm gonna check out our pad geometries and see how they compare with industry standards. Brian, could you elaborate a bit more on the stencil design you have mentioned. Do you mean that you have offset the stencil aper

We're trying out 0603 packages on some 0805 footprints (at this stage only on some test boards) since our vendor tells us the 0805's are going to be getting harder to get, and more expensive to pay for. I understand the IPC footprint for the two is

What Snap-Off are you running ? I've seen this happen when a large negative Snap-Off is used. If you "contact" print (I.E. Zero Snap-Off) this tends to minimize the stencil coining. We use a mix of MPM & Transition Automation blades. I have noticed

Hi everyone!! Is anybody have a chart or rule or standard for misprint. What I mean is if there is a way of saying if my print for some reason a switch 1%, 5%, 10%, etc, off the pad that is not acceptable. Thank you Yannick

We have a "Blundell Stencil Cleaner" screen washer here, and if boards are badly printed, we put them in the wash, then dry them off thoroughly and reprint them. There are small, insignificant signs of tiny solder spheres afterwards, but nowhere near

Yes we see this also....... It is what they call "cold welding" of the solder paste to the blades...... The solder spheres actually "weld" together...... It leaves streaks on the stencil, not a clean wipe of the stencil....... We have never found

Hello. There is been a lot of talk about thick plastic stencils vs. metal stencils for adhesive printing, but how about thin plastic stencils? We used to use a very thin plastic stencil (from loctite) with printgap (=snap-off) to adhesive printing
