Cookson solder paste 256 seem to be a good and very active no clean solder paste. We have some good experience. We did not bother to evaluate oters since we have had good results with this solder paste. May be you can try. Most important is the reflo

Russ, are you using any reduction on your stencil aperatures? How much for what type of parts? We seem to have to many problems with resistor network aperatures clogging. How well does this paste release from small aperatures?

I like Alpha Metals OM-5100. Very long stencil life with good results. Jerry

We use Alpha UP-78 (Older paste formula) and it works well for what we do. We standardized our stencils at 5mil with a 10% reduction on IC apetures and a home plate design on passive components. Additionally we use laser cut electro-polished stenci

We also use Indium NC-SMQ92J. We do the same as mentioned per Russ. We reduce apertures mostly on QFP's with pitch of 25 mil or less (we place down to 15 mil QFP). All other apertures we keep 1:1. We print resnet 0805 size with no problems. You might

We use 10% reductions when either the aspect or area ratio will not be affected. We will utilize a 1:1 when necessary. We place a lot of those little Rnets down to 0805 size .5mm pitch and do not see any problems. We use 6 mil stencils almost excl

Not a fan of bench top, as you have to load the component and the board into a fixture, then unload afterwards. We trialled with 3 linked ones for some complex boards which worked well, however it was not cheap, and not that fast. I'd look at sel

Is anyone using a laser to selectively solder components to a board? I'm just starting to research selective soldering methods for the company i work for as we're looking to replace our current hand soldering processes for lead- and lead free- produ
