Does anyone know of a standard stencil thickness for BGA'S. We currently use 4 to 5 mil stencils depending on component mix. Is an aperature reduction required for BGA'S. If so what percentage. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks MRMAINT

Aperture size should vary with the component [pitch]. That size should be the same a the pad size. So, generally pinching is not required. Indium discusses BGA apertures on their site [ http://www.indium.com ]

I am currently involved with designing a pcb which will use 225 pin bga,s The problem with this design is that the components will dissipate a lot of heat and the design we have come up with is use the middle 6 or 7 rows of balls as the grounding,th

I was looking for an stencil design for a 0.5mm pitch uBGA. Pad size is 0.38mm in diameter. We have been using 5mil stencil with type 3 no clean paste. What size aperture should we be using? Any suggestions?

Can anyone tell me a recomended stencil apt. design for PBGA's and Ceramic BGA's when using a no clean (UP78) paste?

We've just set up a couple of products with 0.5mm pitch uBGA devices on them, i went for 5thou thick, laser cut nickel (to aid paste release) square pads same size as the diameter of the uBGA pads. Or you could go to a 4 thou nickel stencil, better

One thing that worked for me was simply rounding off the pads, making square pads into circlesfor the stencil. It worked but did seem a little strange turning squares into circles for 0603's and 0402's and turning cirlces for BGA's into squares, (bu
