i think a more important issue here would be the reduction ratio. as LF solders have a higher surface tension, they do not flow as well as their leaded counterparts. therefore the stencil design may have to be changed (hence a new stencil) if the red

We are a high-mix/low-volume operation and end up cleaning 40 - 50 stencils per day. Does anybody know of an automated inspection system or "scanner" that can check a stencil for cleanliness?

Our CMs require a new stencil to be purchased, even if it is no different, or else sign a waiver. We purchased a new stencil.

A laser cut stainless steel stencil was used exclusively for the evaluation of the complete 0201 assembly process, which addressed printing, placement, and reflow. However, I have also conducted off-line 0201 print tests using a nickel electroformed

Amkor's MLF guidelines are very similar to Actels. 1 to 1 on the stencil to part pad on the I/O pads, 75% with a grid windowpane, 0.125 mm/5 mil stencil. For example, the Actel area ratio for a 0.3 mm sq. pad and 0.125 mm stencil is 0.6 which seems

Thanks Phil. However, my objective is to identify stencils that are not 100% clean prior to sending to inventory. I want to catch it before the solder paste has a chance to dry and harden in the apertures. Kerry

What about the material of the stencil? Nickel formed? stainless steel? even more materials are available, some with different ways to form the apetertures.
