we sometimes have problems with solder paste release. we use a manual stencil printer. does anyone have any thoughts on using two passes of solder paste on the stencil? i have found that running the second pass gives me better deposits on the fine pi

It depends how manual is the printer. you need to control pressure and speed. If you control both by hand, it is difficult to discuss results. If the pressure is controlled by the printer, than you should be able to do it by one deposit. Also is the

One thing that helps is to divide large pads into a series of smaller pads. This prevents the scooping you're talking about.

hi,brettc! Our stencil openings no more than 4mm * 4mm, you have a larger component of the pads is more than a 4*4? At the same time, with the thickness of the stencil, I would like to increase the printing speed can be improved to reduce the thickne

�Cheap� is relevant. Is $ 3,500 for equipment cheap or expensive? If $ 3,500 is cheap, than we have a solution for you. If $ 3,500 is expensive, then purchase pre-saturated chemical wipes, latex gloves and a hazardous waste bin. As for �effective

Your problem is not the 0.4 pitch. Your problem is the manual cleaning. Manual cleaning will only remove the solder paste from the surface of the stencil. What's more, manual cleaning will force additional contamination into the 0.4 pitch apertures
