Is anyone out there successfully screen-printing SMD adhesive on an 0402 layout? We have successfully done 0603 and larger, but the deposition consistency on the 0402's is just not there. We don't always get enough epoxy on the board. We have tried a

Hi, Anybody has the experience or information of mounting the SMD 0402 on solder side of PCB by adhesive (apply by stencil printing) and then wave solder the 0402? Best regards.

Good day, We use Loctite 3616 for securing SMD's to the PCB before wave. On rare occasions, we have to remove and replace the secured part. Our operators are having a diffucult time removing parts (large QFP's, etc). My questions to this forum: 1)

I haven't used that Loctite before as I've never printed adhesive, but you might try reheating the part with a hot air tool...it works pretty well with 3609.

This is a bad situation and if you use (better to rework) adhesive that means it will work worse in your normal process(wont hold). Heat all the leads to reflow temp, twist (rotate)the part untill it breaks free. Most adhesives are not designed for t

Whatever I've said, my intent has never been to insult you. Smack you yes, insult you no. True, you never said the word �strings� but you did say � * �� shouldn't I be able to expect enough green strength from my epoxy to hold 0603 caps in place wi

Dear Sanjay, An important issue involved when stencil printing adhesives vs. solder paste is: How do you clean the stencils after printing? Do you need two machines? Two chemistries? Two waste streams? What are the potential environmental impacts an

We're having some problems with 0402's tombstoning. On a board with about 300 parts we're getting about 12 to 20 tombstones per board. The caps seem to do it more often than the res. The pads appear to be in accordance with IPC SM 782 amendment 1, S

Hi, What size via's are you guys seeing, as the ones in our products are incredibly tiny, and via's are very small now days. The via's on the boards we have are dramatically smaller than the pad on an 0402. Grant
