HI, Can someone advice me, is there any guideline to determince the opening for stencil during stencil fabrication. Also is there any method to determince whether the solder paste amount is enough during this process.

Hello,

Standard way to calculate stencil design can be done as follows:

A normal ratio of aperture width/stencil thickness = 1.5 for pitches below 650u A normal ratio of stencil aperture width against pad width = 0.8-0.9 (or stencil aperture 10%-20% smaller as pad width)

Examples: Pitch 650u Pad 380u Aperture 300u Stencil 150u Pitch 500u Pad 300u Aperture 230-250u Stencil130u-150u Pitch 400u Pad 250u Aperture 180-220u Stencil 130u Pitch 300u Pad 200u Aperture 130-150u Stencil 100-120u

In the IPC standard you can find more detailed information regarding this subject

You can try : Optimum pad design and solder joint shape for reliability. written for the NPL(England) by Milos Dusek and Chis Hunt, (good ol' English names !!)

or of course the IPC guidelines IPC-7525
