Our lasers are accurate to +/- approx. 5 microns over 20 "X-Y. I have seen boards 18 x 24 stretch 7mils. I would agree with others, the only way is to send a board to you stencil vendor so they can edit the file to match the board. This is very commo

I have fabricated a artwork of stencil on a mylar and make comparison on PCB and Stencil in order to confirm if there is any PCB stretching at both end. The results are comparable for both stencil and PCB without any stretching . So,I assumed that th

What are the recommended stencil apertures for a TSOP40. Lead pitch 0.48mm & lead width 0.21mm. And direction of squeegee print over the aperture? Recommended Stencil thickness? Recommended aperture reductions? Recommended pcb pad sizes? Recommended

Q1: What are the recommended stencil apertures for a TSOP40. Lead pitch 0.48mm & lead width 0.21mm. A1: We've talked about this previously here on SMTnet, for instance check the fine SMTnet Archives: http://www.smtnet.com//forums/index.cfm?fuseactio

I'm wrong about the MPM AP. I got my model designation crossed-up and was thinking of an older unit. I apologize to MPM for for my unfair criticism of their product.

When printing below .5mm pitch, the recommended stencil thickness is 5Thou, laser cut. Do not use any reduction and ensure wherever possible the pad to space ration is 1:1, the length of the pad is not as important as the gap between adjacent pads. T

Hello I have a new 0402 pad design on a recent board were building in future. On closer look i thought the pad was a thru hole mount , but upon closer inspection the round pads are for 0402 comps. I had a discussion with the engineer and he said

Mark, You've already received some good advice from the other posters. The one thing I would add is that even if you solve your printing issues on this type of part, the relative small quantity of paste may be prone to soldering problems. Ever s

Hi, Sounds like your engineer does not know what he's doing. We have developed and built hundreds of thousands of boards with normal square pads for 0402, and we just use a 5 thou stencil with 5% reduction and it works well. Decoupling? What is tha
