1) For solder short, pls check the paste height. Too much vol will cause short. For 15 mils use 5 mils thickness stencil if possible. Check profile preheat time to prevent hot slumpof the paste. 2) type 4 powder will be better for 15 mils pit

I have done this before, We print with a 5-6mil stencil and have had no problems with any underneath solder. If you are still nervous instead of removing from stencil use some 3 mil kapton tape or equivelant and tape off the BGA pads. This way the

I have heard of people using a round pad or Home plate design to decrease the incidence of tombstoning on 0402's Anyone have any practical experience on this or is everyone just using the IPC 782 recommended land pattern (28mil x 33mil rectangle pad

We have a class 3 assembly we will be doing soon and I was wandering since the fillet heighth required for class 3 is 50% more than class 2, should I have my stencil thickness increased from 6 mil. to 7 mil.? This assembly is made up of 31 mil. pitch

Hi Russ, Thanks for your input. Currently, our stencil is at 5 mil thickness and the paste height from 5.5 to 6.5mil. I have increase the paste height to 7 to 7.5 mil and great improve....... I just need some data to present to my management and tel

I'm in 100% agreement with the 5 mils foil. In applications where there is less than 20 mil pitch actives and less than 0603 discretes 5 mils does great and increases your operating window by a ton it's less sensitive to release and print accuraccy.

Good evening, I do. 2mil overprint is not critical. Paste will simply flow back. Paste flows back even with larger overprint (up to 15mil at least). 5mil stencil thickness if fine also. BGA area ratio for both BGAs is higher than 0.66 required by IP

If by 15 mil accuracy you're looking to place 15 or 16 mil pitch, yeah, you're asking a lot of a IVc. Ours do OK for 20 mil pitch but I wouldn't want my living to depend on placing high volume ultra fine pitch with it. They're not designed for that.

Here is the scenario: We are using Lead Free Type III paste. We are using 5 Mil EFORM stencils The part we are having issues with is a SOT883. Stencil design is the SMALL PADs are 10x16mil Large PAD 14 x 24 mil. We are getting some see-sawing of th

Try reductions in the "Y direction". For the SMALL PAD, go from 16-mils to 14-mils, and on the large pad, you can play around with reductions on the 14x24mil pad...or try mesh pattern. You'll be well with area-ratio guidelines with both approaches,
