You did not provide the stencil thickness or your aspect ratio. If your aspect ratio (Aperture width/stencil thickness) is less than 1.5, the paste will not release correctly from the aperture, leaving paste in the aperture. For example, if your pa

What are the long term issues with high tin content solders on parts plated with silver over copper? Is it possible that the silver will be absorbed by the solder then over a long period of time the tin will react with the copper causing it to part

"Poor release" (paste hanging-up in the stencil holes) could have three main (or combination of) causes: 1 Equipment: Stencil is too thick. Specifically, a 6 thou stencil should be OK, providing you don�t violate the area and aspect ratios in the fi

Hi guys, we have a problem and I hope something can give nme some new information. We have big solderability problems with a gold plated board. We changed the paste already, but there is no improvement. Could the Vapor phase Technology cause the p
