| | | My stencil thickness is 6 mil and we got qfp's with fine pitch. | | | how many percent should i reduce my stencil aperture using a 6 mil stencil for 0.5 mm pitch and 0.4 mm pitch ? | | | | | | thanks | | | | | We use 6 mil lasercut stencils w

| | | Does anyone have any information on stencil aperture/pad ratios for noclean solder paste. In the past I have experienced severe solder ball problems when using the same size apertures from aqueous products as I do with the No-clean products.

| | | | | | | | | | | | Hello, | | | If you are using no-clean and they are entrapped in the flux it is also IPC accepted but i havent found a customer yet who agrees with that. Im sure you have checked your profile. I had the same problem with chi

| Hey there gang, how's it going ? | | Anyway's here's my probelm, got a new product to build double sided reflow, lot's of so20's and PLcc's 1206's, 0805's the usual stuff. Probelm is all the pad spacing of the 1206's are too big, my component's ar

| | | I require some feed back from any one who knows about using a voc free flux in a nitrogen wave solder machine soldering both through hle and smt componants. | | | What disadvantages are there when using this flux? | | | Do you have any contact

In my experience, solder balls are normally caused by only a few things. In order of likelyhood: 1) Water based fluxes (VOC-Free)not having the water carrier completely dried from the board before going into the solder. I.E, too fast conveyor spee

Kyung Sam, | | Justin is correct, there is definately either a board design problem or the PCB maker issue. Obviously there are many mixed technology boards built in the world so I would lean towards a design issue as the root cause. Should you or

Chris, I don't know what machine your using, but we're also playing with one at the moment and don't see any problems with micro solderballing as far as I'm aware (I'll double check tomorrow thou!) We're using Kester 977 with it and don't have a pro
