Smart Sonic introduces the first "No Risk" Guarantee for SMT Stencil Cleaners. No more shopping for a machine from one vendor, a chemical from another vendor and waste treatment process from a third vendor. Only to discover when the process fa

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

How do 0.5 mm pads on the board help paste release from the stencil? Paste release from the stencil is a function of: * Paste * Printer operation * Stencil design You have no obligation to made your stencil apertures the same size as the pads on yo

I used an Ultraprint 2000 so if that's what you use then maybe I might be able to help. First, I'm assuming that you've already passed the Teach New Board section. This is board dimension, X and Y boardstop, stencil/squeegee heights and strokes. If

This (along w/ everything else we do) is not high volume. Actually, we're dropping a batch of 7 the first of the week, and that's fairly sizeable for us. I talked with my stencil design folks and sent them a scrap board and all my gerber info. I t

I have used both 4 and 5 mil stencils for 10 mil round apertures. We don't have volume measurement capability but we measure height and the 4 mil appeared to have more paste and better uniformity from a visual standpoint than the 5 mil. The unfortu

I would not recommend trying to cram or mix and match multiple images on a stencil. Especially if you are a contract house, and your clients don't understand why sending one board seperate from a panel of four is a pain in the face. However, I have h

Samir, why do you bring back such idiotic rubbish between two gentlemen that just happen to fall into their presidency? It is not rellavant to the questions at hand. I agree that ultra sonics can clean better but do take longer IMO. As for stencil
