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

I was hoping some-one would help you with this because I too would like more information about selecting stencil thickness. I have read some about apperature ratios, but this alone doesn't appear to be the only factor when chosing stencil thickness,

Hi, If your using NXT to place these BGA's then you must be doing large runs. BGA's are the most easy part to place, and don't worry about them. Just stencil paste down for them as any other component. But we use 1:1 reduction on our stencil, so we

Santiago can still maintain his current PTH, SMT, Reflow, Glue, Wave solder process flow and print glue with a stencil. In this, the bottom-side [contact-side] of the glue stencil requires cutting pockets that correspond with the clinched PTH leads.

0.5mm pitch QFP's are typically mixed with large components on all of my boards. I usually use a 6 mil stencil with a minimum aperture width of 10 mils. Normal aperture size is 10 x 50 which causes shorts about 20% of the time. A recent purchase of

The design of the opening apertures for the glue stencil and the metal thickness.Its is very important. The Engineer of the stencils supplier have to look into the height of the components and the gap of the 2 leg(pads)and give the assemly house an s
