I also heard of a company considering a patent on aperture design. The aperture was a "chevron" aperture, very similar to the "V" shaped aperture recently touted in SMT magazine, presumably for the purpose of reducing solder balls. Go figure!

Greetings: I would like to know the common land patterns and aperture shapes that are currently in use. We are doing some research on the same. Please respond to the thread if you have a success story with you current design. Thanks KT

I have seen the U-shaped aperture on a customer site, being used with success. However, the problems with the stencil and the �loose� tabs where reportedly a reason to search for different aperture designs. Before this company could test their ideas

I have observed solder balling for all aperture sizes tested. Solder balling levels appear to be better correlated against the amount of solder paste that is underneath the 0201 component terminations after placement rather than comparing this to th

Where did you find this article about "U-shape" apertures? I believe it is simply talking about rounded corners on the inside of a normal square aperture. ( resembling a filled in U ). It kinda follows the same ideas behind the home-plate design, wit

What is the recommended stencil aperture opening ,stencil thickness and aperture shape for CCGA?We are seeing high reject for Open solder joint.

PCB land to part land ratio - 1:1 Stencil aperture size - 1:1 with PCB land Stencil aperture shape - same as PCB land

I have two questions 1. How do I control the skewing of FETs/power regulators ? ( the one's with the big rectangular pad and two smaller one's for the leads).If I go 1:1 with the apertures I seem to get solder balling and when I tryed to minimise th
