sipad does work we used it on one assy it had a very fine pitch part on it and at that time our dek 260 wasn't up to the task along with our 8 mil stencils. we had no problems with it it was sticky enough to hold the parts on thur all smt machines.

Hi, This is easy. If your just doing prototypes, then you could get by with a syringe of solder paste and a hear gun. You can put down a little solder paste on each page and then place the passives and heat gun the board. If you have other active p

Hi everyone, I am an Electrical Engineer (BT). I am interested to start my own business on building up electronic boards (thru-hole and SMT). I have never done this work before except practice in college. My questions are: 1. What is the future sta

Here on SMTnet, we've talked about using toaster ovens to reflow solder paste previously. Search the fine SMTnet Archives for more. Here's a clip from one of those threads: Look here: http://www.pcbexpress.com/stencils/stencil_article_page1.htm

I'm not in assembly, but I do know of a technology called Sipad if you are only looking to do small batches. They pre-apply the solderpaste to boards with a light adhesive, which allows you to hand-place components, even micro BGA's and fine-pitch Q

Can you pls. suggest some CNC machines (small, table top) to do this by miling the copper? thanks

Hi, That's an interesting idea, and should work well. Has anyone used this process before? If you were careful, you could even reflow the board with a heat gun, but at the very least, you would only need a simple batch reflow oven. Someone should m

Hi Again, As I was thinking about this, I remembered another unconventional way that I was told about from one of the starters of this technology. Now I don't think anyone would use this technique anymore, yet here it is: Press Cutting and Pushing

Hi to all, All of us are familiar with the conventional way of making PCB...I mean...photo tools/expose/develop/etch/plate etc., These involve lots of chemicals and the work place is toxic. I have a small PCB with just two curves (circuit tracks)and
