Hi All. I want to know what is the IPC/JEDEC standard for solder paste printing defects. From the brochures of SPI Machines, the recognized defects are excessive, insufficient, misalignment, no solder, bridging, and solder shape error. What document

Thank you for the reply, Davef. I am thinking if I can get the standard rather than "trial and error". If there is no such standard, is there any experience of what is the range for good and acceptable solder paste (e.g. minimum and maximum percenta

There is no such standard, nor should there be. The important thing is to make good solder connections. That's IPC standardization focus, defining good results of manufacturing process. The approach that you take in developing the process of making g

I recently saw an ad in a major trade magazine that stated: �about 60%of all printed circuit board manufacturing defects are due to stencil printing� I would like to hear comments from people that are running SMT lines, is this fact and if it is, w

That 60+% print defects number has been bantied around for so long in the electronic assembly business for so long that people believe that it's true. One starting point for this myth and lore is: "Where Quality Is Lost On SMT Boards" C Mangin, 'Cir

We need to remember here that as printer manufacturers were enhancing their product lines, miniaturization was quickly being developed in the background. In the last 2 years I was involved in developing and conducting a D.O.E./F.M.E.A in determining

My 2 cents... Screen printing may very well have a leg up on deciding SMT defects... however if you pay attention to your stencil (aperture size ratio etc..) and inspect your prints... I believe its a much lesser number... (paste MFG also plays a ro

I can't give you itemized values for each defect category because we don't ask operators to distinguish between them, and we haven't done any serious research to do so either. I do wonder this, though. I read data somewhere from 14 years ago statin

Please check the solder paste height near PCB edges, Please check board clamping during solder paste printing. Please check tooling support boards must be fixed during the printing process. try to set wiper cleaning frequency and fine tune for best
