What are the pros and cons between type 3 and type 4 no clean solder paste (SnPb)?

Many use the following guideline when judging the proper paste for a stencil aperature: You want approximately 5 particles minimum across the smallest aperture.

Tin/lead alloys tend to oxidize very easily, affecting solderability. Use the largest particle sized paste possible, because as the particles decrease in size their total surface area per unit mass increases, effecting: * Demands on the flux increase

Dave hit the cons pretty well for type 4 type 4 is used when you have extremely small apertures and type 3 will not fit into them or release adequately basically. I have not yet had application that requires it but got very close once, .007 circle

IPC-7525 "Stencil Design Guidelines" is a good reference document to have. Here are notes from a Tessera, (a major mBGA mfg.), study- "Application Note Solder Stencil Requirement for mBGA" The stencil aperture is to be square, equal in size to the l

What would the considerations be in utilizing a type 4 paste as opposed to type 3? We have an assembly that has a large amount of uBGAs (12 mil diam pad)along with 50 mil pitch BGAs assorted fine pitch etc... We are experiencing difficulty in paste

1.Can anyone explain to me what is the clean and non clean solder? 2.What is the standard solder paste height spec for stencils 4mils,5mils and 6mils? 3.Whatis the meaning for ROHS?

Q1 Can anyone explain to me what is the clean and non clean solder? A1 The trend away from CFCs has lead many users to evaluate switching to no-clean soldering processes. The term "no-clean" is actually a common misnomer when used to describe a flux

My group supports a couple hundred lines all over the world. Most of them use squeegees but a few use either the MPM Rheometric pump heads or the DEK Proflow heads. I absolutely hate the enclosed heads. Flux separation, compaction, and the print q

Bryan, Dyoungquist is correct. You should not need to mix solder paste. Overmixing solder paste can adversely affect it. Follow these guidelines and you should be fine: 1. Keep unopened containers of paste in the refrigerator. 2. Take one container
