The ratio of aperture opening area to aperture wall area is a critical evaluation measure for the release of the printed solder paste. The stencil thickness has the biggest impact on area ratio.

I don't know. What does your paste supplier say? You can run tests * That you used to qualify this paste in the first place. * According to IPC J-STD-005A Requirements for Soldering Pastes * Using your toughest stencil to print this paste on a bare c

Well first off I wouldn't evaluate paste for a wave process. I would use solder bar instead. Flux - top side fillets and no shorting on the solder side, does it clean well after processing if using water soluble flux. How wide is the process win

Hi, There are quite a few suppliers so you could have a lot of work on your hands trying them all. Do a bit of research finding out what paste all the big guns use? they spend a fortune doing evaluations etc But you should get at least 3 different

We have the standard profile as a template made according to the solder paste specs. For some boards we measure the result at 2 points, on the board itself and on top of a sensitive SOT263 module and adjust accordingly. The solder paste is well kept,

| What exactly is the criteria needed to determine the right solder paste. I have been fortunate enough in the past to have a solder paste work "halfway" for me and to modify the reflow profile or simply just "drop in" a paste and monkey with the pro

Hi All, We evaluated and approved KESTER R520A for our default RoHS solder paste a couple years back. It's time to re-evaluate to see if this material is still the best choice. Please let me know your opinion on the solder paste you are using, and

hi... try evaluating eco solder paste Sn96.5/Ag3.0/Cu0.5 from Senju... output is good and i suggest your stencil's apperture ratio with the pad 1:1 when it comes to fine pitches...and BGA pads regards, janry
