Hi Chris, Acually, it worked pretty good. We made a new blade from SS. We were not sure if it would work so we diddn't want to commit a good sqeegee blade. You will want to try to keep the cutaway toward the center of the blade. And don't hit the fl

Hi Chris, It sounds like you may have to go with your idea of a relief cut into the stencil. Are there any components that need to be printed in close proximity? Is this a high volume?I used to work at a flex house and we had a similar situation. We

Printed Circuit Board (PCB) for Surface Mount Technology (SMT)
Technical Library | 2023-05-02 19:06:43.0
As 0402 has become a common package for printed circuit board (PCB) assembly, research and development on mounting 0201 components is emerging as an important topic in the field of surface mount technology for PWB miniaturization. In this study, a test vehicle for 0201 packages was designed to investigate board design and assembly issues. Design of Experiment (DOE) was utilized, using the test vehicle, to explore the influence of key parameters in pad design, printing, pick-andplace, and reflow on the assembly process. These key parameters include printing parameters, mounting height or placement pressure, reflow ramping rate, soak time and peak temperature. The pad designs consist of rectangular pad shape, round pad shape and home-based pad shape. For each pad design, several different aperture openings on the stencil were included. The performance parameters from this experiment include solder paste height, solder paste volume and the number of post-reflow defects. By analyzing the DOE results, optimized pad designs and assembly process parameters were determined.

. That amount of mechanical abuse can take a lot of toll on rigid boards due to their lesser bendability range than flex boards. For PCBs to withstand the excessive shock and vibration, manufacturers often alter the design of some boards, like combining pins and soldering to hold components in place or leaving a small space
