empf issued an excellent study of calculated solder volume in the 90's. It used lotus 123 but is easily used in excel. I have used it for over 10 years. The only thing wrong is with leadless components. the amount of paste required generally is insuf

Does anyone know how to calculate solder paste volume required to run a PCBA on an SMT line? I'm looking for a solder paste volume model which include paste waste. Roland

Hello, I need to know the volume spread of solderpaste after screenprinting fine-pitch paste using a nickelformed screen. It is the end-result that counts , so of course the spread of metalcontent in the paste is important too. Can anyone tell me som

Why not use the same paste volume as you currently use? Alternately, although we haven't used it in a while, doesn't IPC have a very nice paste volume, aperture calculator that could be used for this? Or is it just a pad size calculator used for

thanks pete, i have requested information from their local rep in our place. However, from the response that i got, the volume data you get in their VM system is a calculated value, not a true volume measurement.

Hi, I'm from a semiconductor package assembly, and currently looking for an offline solder paste inspector capable of true volume measurement. Any recommendation for a machine that can measure paste volume on a leadframe (metal substrate)? I found

The US EPA has a Toxics Release Inventory (TRI) program. They may have some information on paste wastage estimation for leaded pastes.

After checking some of our stencil data for the correct aspect ratio I found that a few are wrong. I would like to change them from 5mil thk to 4mil thk but do not know how much paste volume I need to keep. We are using 0201,0402, and BGA with 0.80 p

Hello Bart I work with the Koh Young systems. Do you have any sort of data even just X Y posistion and pad or appeture size? If you have I can bypass the Gerber requirement. send me an email at jeremy@christopherweb.com Jeremy
