Hi Adrian, If you do a "squeegee snap off" during solder paste printing...the result would be a very thick solder paste deposition. I think the correct term is stencil snap off or people say it "snap off distance". =)

Snap off is the distance from the top of the board to the bottom of the stencil.

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

It is the distance between board and stencil. When your stenciling solder paste you usually want to contact print (which is "0" snapoff). When you are stenciling adhesive you can affect your dot size and quality by using a gap between board and stenc

Hi all, Assuming that i were to design a PCB and there are multiple components, what is the minimum spacing required to ensure that i won't have problems in my SMT process later on? Also, is there a minimum component stand-off height spec as well?

Yes, courtyard gives you the space requirement of a component. Sometimes, the working space of a rework tool takes precidence, though.

What is squegee snap off and how is it measured?

If you're using vaccuum to hold the board, too much vacuum can cause bad print. This generally occurs during snap off. You can either decrease snap-off time of reduce vacuum.
