Search the finee SMTnet Archives for previous posts on the topic. Here's a clip from on of those posts that may get you started. [snip] * Stencil material: metal or plastic, no difference in print, metal is easier to clean, no static problem, availa

| | Dear guys, | | | | I have some problem on assembling micro-BGA with solder paste (63/37). The micro-BGA we assmeble is 0.75mm pitch and with 45 pin (solder bump is 96.5/3.5Ag). The stencil is a laser-cut stencil with 5 mil thickness. We are no

AOI technology is over-priced and inconsistent...lots of false errors. Your best bet is a paste height measuring device (3-D) Cyberscope makes one for 25-30 thousand. This process is really only necessary for high volume operations. As for you questi

As stated previous, the following elements all have a effect on solder beading. Solder Paste, stencil apertures(reduction of home plate), stencil thickness, printing parameters, placement height, reflow preheat and soaking slope and dwell, manufactur

Hi Shriram, Are you saying that there is a trace running between the pads for this 0603 capacitor? If so, this design may be causing a gasketing issue between the stencil and the PCB. The uneven height prevents the stencil from sitting flat on the PC

A little hard to tell without knowing your part details and behavior and your PCB design. I have seen part warping so much that will show opens joints on the sides and short in the middle at the same time. Theoretically you should have area ration of

I think we've miscommunicated....I don't use that thing for measuring paste height or volume as part of the process because it's not repeatable from one operator to the next. I use it more to measure radial tape and reel parts against EIA-486, actual

Franky, what method are you using for printing glue? metal stencil or plastic?, and is it on contact or off contact ? and what type of squeegee's are you using? basically give us more infomation. In term's of measuring height / volume, you can do t

Russ, The caps are 0603 case size. I am not sure about the manufacturing details, as I work for the capacitor supplier. The manufacturing details are unclear at the moment, as the customer (South of the border) has not released such detailed inform

Dback, Current method is by using dispenser machine to dispense the glue at PCB. This non-wetting is randomly and not repeating to the same location. My adhesive height is 0.01" to 0.035". Is this will cause the component to had a gap between the t
