Much has been said on this subject. Try a search of the archives for the terms "Phil Zarrow" and "surface tension". You'll likely find what you need.

I can't seem to find an article about the limiting mass of a SMT component on the solderside of a double-sided reflowed PCB. I'm pretty sure that Phil Zarrow did an article on this subject. It went something like the mass/land surface area?

There are a lot of things that might affect your cleaning efficiency. Paste type (no clean or w/s?), cleaning chemistry, aperture aspect ratio (aperture width/stencil thickness), "linty" wipes, etc. Another thing you need to look at is the frequency

which stencil vendor can deliver aspect ratio and area ratio and the statistical information to the user?It's difficult if the pad is modified.

Hi MikeS, I didn't post all the information, because I didn't want to mislead you. I wanted to see your way. We tried 3mil and 4 mil stencil using type 4 paste. It was hard to get the right aspect ratio and that;s why we did it on Nickel stencil - a

Is there any software to design the stencil openings? It may be including automatic modify the aperture,monitoring aspect ratio and area ratio,even let you know the whole vloume of the opening and average ratio?because the stencil design is more impo

You are right, playing with apertures is how to ensure release. Making a stencil thinner or thicker is "playing with apertures" It all relates to aspect and area ratio calculations and what you need to do based upon the numbers you get. Russ

Q1. What is the recommended stencil thickness to apply the proper amount of solder for 0603 components? A1. The proper amount of solder is determined by: * Metal content of the solder paste. * Stencil thickness. * Aperture opening. * Other factors,

You could reduce the paste by about 70%. Solder balling and tombstoning will be the issues to fight. The drivers to these don't change with the component size. Use the fine SMTnet Archives for background. Aperture Size and Thickness of Solder Pas
