i think a more important issue here would be the reduction ratio. as LF solders have a higher surface tension, they do not flow as well as their leaded counterparts. therefore the stencil design may have to be changed (hence a new stencil) if the red

Hello Ok there is not much info here. What you have to mae sure of is several key factors. 1. Have you entered the correct stencil thickness. 2. Are you using the stencil gerber (not the paste layer) The paste layer is usually not adjusted for ap

Thanks Phil. However, my objective is to identify stencils that are not 100% clean prior to sending to inventory. I want to catch it before the solder paste has a chance to dry and harden in the apertures. Kerry

Hello Mark, I wish it were that simple so I could direct you to a particular manufacturer and stencil cleaner model. Unfortunately, there are several issues complicating the process of cleaning all these applications in one machine. First and fore

Hi, We are in the way to evaluate different solder pastes, improve our solder paste incoming inspection steps, re-define our stencil requirements and the following questions are open. Two questions, 1- Is anybody using/requiring 1000 Kcps or more

The results from an experiment comparing 27 different combinations of pad dimensions concluded that the pad design with 15 mil pad length, 12 mil pad width, and 9 mil pad separation produced the best assembly yields. A 5 mil thick laser cut stencil

J Rose at EMPF says: The introduction of no-clean solder fluxes in electronics manufacturing has given rise to greater levels of solder balling simply because the opportunity to remove them in the wash process does not exist. They are typically cause

I am currently cleaning solder paste and adhesive stencils and misprinted substrates manually by using IPA, chem wipes, Q-tips, etc. Can you recommend a machine and chemistry that will clean all these applications?

Hi, new to the forum here. First Post! Ive been using a Samsung sm482 for about 2 years and recently got the heads up that we will be getting a project soon with a BGA chip. Im wondering if anyone on here uses the SM482 for BGA and if so, can offer
