Hi! CJ. Please advise what is your pitch size ie 15.7 mil or what is your capabiliy can you build the board with pitch 15.75 mil (please note that the actual dimension of the package is 0.4mm), and how many lead on the package. The pad width of Ind

You need to perform process a capability study prior to putting these controls into place. Cleaning a stencil after each pass will get ugly, solvent residues remaining in apertures etc. 2D inspection is good. Change paste every hour will get very

Pressure printing systems Conventional stencil printing techniques have fundamental limitations as regards paste handling: The volume of paste available for printing is limited, so frequent replenishment is necessary Paste is difficult to c
