One thing that will also cause this is very slight stencil mis-alignment. Sometimes the paste will have a tendency to hang up in the apertures if you are over hanging just a little on the solder mask. Some solder mask are very slick and will not pull

Your area ratio for this aperture is fine (.78) usually any value greater than .66 will provide a reliable paste release. I would make sure however that the stencil is polished. I agree with other posts regarding your setup and/or paste type is prob

Hi Grant Petty, I read about your problem, You might have problem with the design. First on the pad. What is the diameter of the BGA pad in your PCB. We have the same size of PCB and we use 0.584mm Pad dia. and a 10% reduction on our aperture. We us

We have always baked our assembled boards prior to wave solder, but have recently learned that there are some companies out there who don't. I checked with one of my supervisors, and he said that baking is recommended but not required. I'm wonderin

Are your components not in JEDEC trays? We use Kostat trays and we can bake our parts at or up to 150C. What are your temperature requirements, and what are your parts currently being stored in or on? There are a slew of tray makers out there that

Greetings, Does anybody out there have any experience with 0306 capacitors (not 0603). I am trying to find a pad design for this component. I have searched the archives to no avail. The component is .06 long by .03 wide with .007" solder terminat

The total inductance of a chip capacitor is determined both by its length to width ratio and by the mutual inductance coupling between its electrodes. So, a 1210 chip size has a lower inductance than a 1206 chip. Check with your supplier for recomm

Hi DaveF already gave you some fine answers. Yes I have seen CNC routed copper PWBs, and the literature is filled with many unique trace types including laying of fine wires on a board or embedded. You wanting .15mm, and I am guessing, low resistan

Hi Again, As I was thinking about this, I remembered another unconventional way that I was told about from one of the starters of this technology. Now I don't think anyone would use this technique anymore, yet here it is: Press Cutting and Pushing

Typically 1% resistors indicate the decimal position with an "R" 22R1 most likely means 22.1 ohm. Again the best answer is to go to the manufacturer's website to learn how to properly identify the particular component. The ones that really confuse
