Unfortunately, I don't have a copy of IPC-A-610 D on hand, however, I believe in IPC-610, this �floating height� between lead and pad has no maximum specification restriction. As long as there is no voiding, it is still acceptable for all 3 classes.

Hi Folks: We've been having bridging problems on our fine-pitch QFP's, despite thorough inspection of paste height, volume, and placement accuracies....profiles look good also. The bridging is happening after coming out of reflow...one last thing t

I�d appreciate assistance in trying to resolve a placement/soldering problem. My company has designed a board which uses a large number of 0402 LED�s that are .028� high. The LED�s need to be soldered so that they point straight up and are not til

First, I don't have a clear fix on the problem. Please drill-down to more detail. We appreciate that you probably don't know the parlance. Just describe what you have and then what you'd like to have. Second, most 0402 LED are fabricated just lik

How thick is your stencil? We print 16mil every day with type 3 paste 2 of which you have tried (Alpha and Kester) Stencil should be 5 mil. Russ

I am engaged with SMT production and we are going to have a brand new SMT line and I am studing about the screen printing and I have seen most commonly used stencil thickness is 6mil and I need to know what is the best solder paste height we can achi

Sorry, I forgot to include the stencil thickness. It is 5 mil. Thanks for the input, everbody. I just checked with our stencil supplier & I thought that Electro-polish was standard with lazer, but I now find out it is not. Our stencil did not get

There are quite a few papers out there on the subject. Just enter "SMT void reduction" into google or other search engine and take your pick. That said, slow ramp rates and paste volume reduction are a good place to start. Although I haven't tried i

Russ is correct. A 5 thou thick stencil should give good release. Here's how you run through it: * You want at least 5 solder particles across the smallest aperture. So in your case, 8 thou wide, which equals to 0.20mm gives us 0.20/5=40 microns.

Dear experts, I'm looking for answers of my following questions: 1. What average consumption of soldering paste in SMD per square meter? 2. What average consumption of soldering bar in THD per square meter? Thanks in advance. Best regards, Reza
