Greetings, I am pretty new to SMT production, and have learned much from this forum. I am getting ready to build a CCA with many 0402 parts that are really close together. I consider these fine pitch. The board also has two QFPS, so my stencil design

actually the "yellow lite" part of my posting was simply spoofing Dave's light up band-aid wrappers. But seriously (again) most high temperature Kapton polyimide film tapes, like 3M #92 and #1205, develop a considerable charge when unrolled or remov

Is the stencil opening rectangular? Home Plate? What is the spacing between the pads on the stencil for the component?

try to use stencil with "home plate" (arrow head) shapes of appertures for chips components. Any supplier of stencil can support you with this kind of design. janz

Try home-plated the stencil apertures, and make "V" shape home-plated outside edges of two pads instead of between two pads.

One of our board vendors recently switched their stencil design to home plate apertures. Since the change the quality and yield of their PCB's has went south, Could this process change be the cause?

mid chip solder balls we had that trouble for awhile we went from a 8 mil thick stencil to 6 mil stencil and did some home plate style of cut outs in the stencil for the 1206 caps and resistors it seemed to fix our mid chip solder balls

I am havein a lot of trouble with KINGBRIGHT LEDs tombstoning in the reflow oven. It is a PLCC2 package. The stencil apatures are home plated. Can anyone help me

I found solderballs are around chip components (on one side of middle area), I checked gerber data, solder paste of aperture on the stencil for these chip components have 5% reduction to solder land on PCB, shape of solder land are square, not home p

Hi Dback, Yes, i'm open "dog bone" aperture for my chip component. this is to prevent solder ball issue. For fine pitch i'm opening square with full length and half width to prevent bridging. Btw, if "dog bone" is not for chip component, what is your
