Are having problems with cheap paper phenolic pcbs that appear to have shrunk. That is they no longer match the stencil (stencil is correct). Some people seem to think this is normal, is there an industry standard out there that says what is reasonab

I don't know what is BOC (may be I know it by another name...), but: 1. Check placement coordinates by camera (if your mounter can do it) and tune it if they have a problems; 2. Check your stencil - it can be a mistake during stencil cutting (very sm

Sorry fellas -disagree. We only clean our stencils in the ultrasonic machine at the end of the run. If the same pcb is up the next day we clean them by hand. We use Electrolube SSS and the used rolls from the in line under stencil cleaner. Wipe the

Print paste through the new stencil with a piece of mylar [or other clear plastic sheet about the thickness of paper] between the board and the stencil. Dispose of the mylar according to local practice after confirming proper aperturation of the sten

Hi Steve ... I found nothing in the manufacturers "paper" to help. Comments are: * I agree. No blobs. Solder on the thermal pad should me minimized. Too much solder will float the component. Old timers used to talk about 50-80% coverage. * If you'

Dear davef, All of this are takling about how to improve release solder paste, Area ratio, aspect ratio...etc, but i want to learn the "When design BGA stencil which the safe air gap between solder paste in difference stencil thickness", this can he

I'm no expert but I think you will find the majority of discussions around BGA & good printing results focus on the PCB design and things like tented vias and pad definition. e.g https://macrofab.com/blog/bga-pad-creation-smd-nsmd/ After that, work

Dear Experts, Have any paper or data talking about the design guideline for avoiding BGA solder bridge? I desire to know the rule(guideline)that compare difference stencil thickness and safe solder design distance (air gap) can avoid bridge.

You have lost me, its a stencil, you can change the aperture size, you can change the thickness and you can change the walls of the aperture. And all of those things will be in the papers anyone can find with a google. I have no clue what safe air g
