The screens are basically the same technology. But when I worked with them , the screens were 6 inches square for a 3 or 4 inch hybrid. It is used on a precision printing machine to get good alignmant. Tee- shirts use a bigger stencil and are not so

Is it ok to re-print the mis-print PCB? Personally I am oppose to re-print the mis-print board. For two reasons. 1. You will end up adding solder paste on the bottom side of the stencil. 2. You may smear solder paste in some area. But I would like to

We sometimes have a misprint and we would never re-print on a board with paste on it already because it will surely get paste all over the bottom of your stencil and could smear between traces. If we do mispront we have to clean the paste off the boa

Our Stencil Mask Fiducial vanishes from black color to light where our Screenprint machine unable to detect fiducial during batch teaching (auto set-up alignment). Does anybody here encounter the same problem? I am searching for a dark marker or any

If there is no specific quality reason, stay with paste. More processes you add, more points of failure. They don't need a lot of paste to get attached to the board. The ones I used were 8mil round apertures, so I did cut 1:1 on a 3 mil coated stenci

Is anybody using Vicor VI Chips (SMT version)? We are using a number of these on some of our boards and are having inaccurate placement and insufficient solder issues (8 mil step stencil still not enough). If you are placing these devices: 1. Which

IPA is flammable and that is why no company will tell you to use. I've used many solutions and IPA works just as fine as any other solution if not better. Definitely use solvent in your cleaning. If it was meant to clean without solvent we wouldn't t

Looks like you have a great wetting of your paste :). Once body has been in contact with molten solder, the package could suffer damages on the body(outside and inside) and on the circuitry inside. It is considered a defect. I have seen that before a

In my experience, in a temperature/humidity controlled environment, 1 hour, no big deal. 4 hours still ok. Overnight your pushing the limits but will probably reflow without issues. Any longer, could be a problem. Again, a lot depend on type of past
