Hmm..that gets me thinking. How about lightning rods for SMT equuipment. Actual conversation of customer on plant tour: Customer: "What the hell is that? Is that a 30 foot tall signal tower on that stencil printer?" No. That's our new speedline

1. We do have PCB with 0402 component, Micro BGA ( 0.5mm pitch , 0.25 mm pad size ). PCB thickness is 0.8mm. What stencil thickness we should use. PCB size 40 mm X 60 mm 2. We have EKRA E4 , What will be optimum setting for above. Pressure, Scquge s

Folks thanks for all the info, I'm gonna check out our pad geometries and see how they compare with industry standards. Brian, could you elaborate a bit more on the stencil design you have mentioned. Do you mean that you have offset the stencil aper

The reason for going 1:1 with lead free is that it does not spread out like the pb solders. So 1:1 is really not necessary in my opinion. We go 1:1 anyway on discrete components along with other packages. You always have to make sure that the area

I read the Cookson/Alpha paper "Optimizing stencil design for Lead-free SMT processing". I interpreted it to mean that if you had a mid chip solder ball (MCSB) problem the "radiused inverted home plate of 20/60/20 style" had the greatest impact on r

We current use glue on our bottom side boards using stencils and screen printers. Our Glue aperatures that we use are very small rectangles and they seem to clog very easily. We currently are using Heraeus PD955PR #8 and see alot of boards that ar

My findings were that it wasn't accurate enough to create the crisp aperatures needed for release. That was almost ten years ago when everyone was looking for an alternative to chem-etch however. Water guided laser also showed promise of doing this b

there are various SMT machines 1. Stencil Printer 2. Pick and Place machine 3. Reflow ovens 4. Automatic optical Inspection machines start with visitng Stencil printer websites like MPM, DEK etc. Pick and Place -- Univesal instruments, Mydata, Fuji

Yes, I agree, manual cleaning is not a solution, but does tell you you need to clean the stencil. You should have your stencil cleaner repaired and take that question mark away. Once all the question marks are goen you should be left with an answer
