Adrian, I'll go again. The term "snap off" on it's own refers to the distance between the bottom of the stencil and the top of the pcb. Sometimes referred to as "print gap". As you prefaced your question with "squeegee snap off" I thought you were as

We have had some success printing 20mil pitch with our IIT Proframe. It takes some babysitting, and you don't want your operators to be changing these things out every hour or you'll be buying lots of them. Pulling tension in one direction gives r

| Can sombody help me with this?? When applying solder paste, what factors determine how high off the PCB the stencil is? We use no fine pitch devices. (mostly 603 and 1206 size components) Any help would be greatly appreciated. As you could probably

You can certainly venture out to the nearest lab for in-depth analyses. But since you mention 2-3% defectives in a batch, there is much you can do in-house as well. Measure the height of your solder paste deposit (in zero print gap condition)across a

Al, In general, I would agree with Justin, i.e. contact printing with a 0.007" stencil is great for 0603 - 1206 size components. However, we also place 0.025" pitch QFP components. We use a 0.006" laser cut stencil and I have found through trial an

SMT chip processing short-circuit bad phenomenon mostly in the fine pitch IC pins, mostly in the 0.5mm and the following pitch between the IC pins, because its spacing is small, improperly designed template or printing a slight omission is very easy

I am currently experiencing major issues when printing fine pitch parts. Pad width is .008 Even starting with a new screen, fresh paste, etc. I see where the paste is not breaking away from the screen apts consistently and when inspecting the pads I

The 5 thou standoff of your SOIC is probably the minimum. We wouldn't be surprised to see 10 thou. With this, you could have maybe a 6 thou gap between printed solder paste and the bottom of the heat slug. So, you're expecting the rabbit ears of p

Hey, where's the 0201s? Just kidding. Off the top of my head, I do not recall seeing results of such a test. Nonetheless, I�ll consult with my peers and let you know if we come up with something that could assist you. That said, with a few more d
