Hi MPMENG, Thanks for you reply. I must say I am printing onto wafers& I'm still somewhat new to the process but much of the theory is the same as for PCB. I trialled it in the mean time and I did find that printing into the long side of the pad wa

Hi Team, what we have observed is that tension basically at the center of the stencil is less . And it directly depends on the number of aperture opening we have . More the opening less the tension. But there is no supporting document for the same

Flat surface is the number one choice for fresh part soldering. We did not discuss details about resistor size and location, but to keep them flat I will suggest no apertures on the stencil.

Check the pad size. I had this issue before due to the pad size too wide. R&D had change the size of the pad and is solve the issue. Before the pad size change, I had rebuild another stencil with the pad opening close to the component size. It won't

Herb: Try oversizing your stencil fiducial openings to maybe twice the size of the board fiducial. When aligning manually, look for uniformity in the annular ring which appears around the fiducial. Hope this helps.....

During a discussion about smt design one of our attendees said that he had been taught that stencil openings were typically designed .005 below the size of the copper smt pads. My experiance has been stencils are usually designed 1 to 1 with the copp

Hello, Can you give more detail on LGA parts in question? is 50 mm x 50 mm is overall size of the parts? What about pad pitch and how big is the pads individually? I assume that 50x50 mm is overall size. How about the stencil opening for the LGA pad
