| My stencil thickness is 6 mil and we got qfp's with fine pitch. | how many percent should i reduce my stencil aperture using a 6 mil stencil for 0.5 mm pitch and 0.4 mm pitch ? | | thanks | we have placed 16 mil components for 3 years. why don't

Sure, use of U-shape apertures is another way to reduce the amount of paste that you apply. That and similar schemes mentioned in the article are not a function of the flux used. We have used U-shaped apertures for MELF and mini-MELF. They are sug

Full radius corners on pads can help with solder paste release in the stencil. The radius shape minimizes the surface area in the wall of the stencil aperture as compared to a sharp corners. When the stencil is seperating from the pcb the solder pa

:On a dense board, a great way to reduce solderballing is to either; print paste 1:1 with pad size using a 5mil foil, reduce aperture openings by 10% of pad size or change aperture shape to "Home Plate" design. If none of these work on their own you

Hi there, We're developing a DOE where stencil design (aperture design) is going to be evaluated, currently we have regular reduction on sides, home base (triangular and semi-circle), "C" or "U" shape, and an idea for oval shape for pasives also cam

If 0 or 180 degr. make v-shape openings to each other left & riht, if 90 or 270 degr. top/ bottom, on the stencil apertures; well, you understand... We use this and 87 % reduction of stencil apertures for 0603:s and 0402:s. 0.127 mm stencil thicknes

good morninrg Sal: I think if you try with no windows shape, maybe if you redce 10% (5% per side ;5% one side & 5% other side, total 10 % )

please look at trying lazer cut stencils. They have trapozoidal shaped apertures and this could assist with the paste releasing onto y the PCB

Does anyone know of a good technical reference source that deals with the screen printing of surface mount adhesives? I'm looking for help in adhesive selection and guidelines for designing aperture sizes/shapes for typical B/S wavesolderable SMT com
