For ICT purposes I may need to print solder paste on 0.015" test vias. No-clean is not an option for this assembly and OA seems the only choice. Can flux be safely removed from inside the via from the other side during a standard water wash process

We need some opinions about a situation that is causing problems in our process. The pcb's in question are .125 thick with a HASL finish. The boards are coming in with a large amount of solder trapped inside the via holes. Sometimes this solder is ac

Hello to everyone, Have you ever experienced soldermask bubbles inmediately after printed the soldermask itself? (for screen printing method of LPISM). I am not talking here about blistering or any outgassing defects after exposing to high temperatu

Clint, You may want to call KJ Marketing Services, a Canadian company that fabricates plastic laser cut stencil. They call it "Kepoch stencil" This material was originally developed by Dupont, and patented and marketed by KJ. It was available for

We currently use the Loctite system of Glue/stencils and are getting very good results. You may still have a height problem is you solder resist is too thick. The UK sales person is Bob.goss@loctite-europe.com & he may give you more help. The only ot

Hi, everyone, I'm an new engineer and in charge of SMT process. Now I want to apply DOE to printing process. some questions to ask you guys. 1. how many replications do i need in each run (L8) ? 2. after printing, except solder height, volume, what's

A near eutechtic alloy [ie, 63/37, 62/36/2, etc] would be fine. People print, place, and reflow millions of cermaic capacitors with these alloys every day.

We are running Clean process. solder beadings were found after the wash process. Weird eh!! It's true.. Details: 1)wash pressure ? No shadowing effects from high profile component. It also happened on the component's body of the 1210 & 0402 caps whi

HI, I actually have ask the same question a while back. Yes, using lead free component in a leaded process should be no problem at all. May required just a little hotter peak temp. during reflow, to achive optimal solderability.
