Hi, C.K. Let's assume that your stencil's thickness is in a range 4-6 mil or by other words the height of the solder paste on a pads is the same (close enough to reality) Therefore, for pad's width more than 20 mils(as well as pitch between pads) th

the original question was: Please give me some guidelines on designing Stencils for Fine Pitch. which i did however, 40% fallout for solder shorts this could be caused by many other processes having gone wrong before, i.e. type of solder paste

You know, many SMD components have copper alloy leads and then a copper (or Ni) barrier on them. On the copper (or Ni) barrier there is the finish. Usually the finish is made of Sn\Pb (tin-lead), and if I solder with a Sn\Pb solder paste it's all rig

OUCH! The ol' boss went to a seminar clich� eh? That�s a killer. Especially if it�s salesperson driven (which most are). Almost as bad as when they pick up Circuits Assembly or Assembly Magazine. OK so you�re stuck doing this process. I would

Dear Team, We are facing open solder issue in a sensor component. Rejection rate is 2 out of 50 components placed. The issue is very random. We have tried increasing the solder paste height from 5 mil to 7 mil. The issue persist still. Differen

| A board shop rep contacted me about a process were solder paste is applied to the board as part of their mfg. process thereby eliminating the need for paste application at the assembler. This is a new one I have never heard of, but am willing to si

| Hello all, | | I read about Steve's headache a few articles back and I'm really interested by his tip. However, I'm still wondering why square apertures release solder paste better than round ones. For the same volume of paste, the surface area
