A Screen printer is similar to a stencil printer,except the screen isn't made from a piece of brass, copper, plastic or stainless steel, with laser cut holes. The screen has a stainless steel , silk or polyester mesh, which is then dipped in a photos

The screens are basically the same technology. But when I worked with them , the screens were 6 inches square for a 3 or 4 inch hybrid. It is used on a precision printing machine to get good alignmant. Tee- shirts use a bigger stencil and are not so

inspect => conformal coat ... and standards are aligned with that philosophy. I can imagine doing a good job inspecting assembly after being coated with particular coating thickness, optical properties, lighting conditions. Ultra-thins are so thin

Why so small assuming your inserting a thru hole component. And if it is for a component what is the lead diameter and board thickness, and layer count? This all needs to be considered for manufacturability. A good board house should have no issues w

Not sure exactly what kind of coverage your looking to get but we use Dow Corning 3-1944, it's room-temp cure and rather thick, (think warm honey). But we have found it useful on several projects. http://www.dowcorning.com/applications/search/produc

No matter in selective soldering or wave soldering process, higher pot temperature and longer wetting time can increase IMC thickness and joint strength(reliability), but as Daivf said, you need to care if the DIP component and bare PCB was damaged b

Measurement of Conformal Coating thickness on Printed Circuit Boards [ http://www.defelsko.com/applications/conformal-coating/printed-circuit-boards.htm ] I receive no benefit from the supplier mentioned above. IPC-HDBK-830A, 8.11.1 talks to measu

MSL 1 is unlimited factory floor time before reflow. I have spools that are 10+ years old and haven't encountered any issues using those parts. It goes without saying those parts are not exactly used in volume so its not a massive sample but that is

In my experience, in a temperature/humidity controlled environment, 1 hour, no big deal. 4 hours still ok. Overnight your pushing the limits but will probably reflow without issues. Any longer, could be a problem. Again, a lot depend on type of past

Hi, we are experiencing insufficient solder and bridging solder. Any recommendation on the inner pad (LGA) and stencil thickness. Any suggestion will be very helpful. link: http://www.latticesemi.com/~/media/LatticeSemi/Documents/ApplicationNotes/
