Alpha Metals sells a paste developed especially for 0201's and 0.5 mm pitch BGA's. I have no idea if if does what it promises, but it might be worth to give it a try. See http://www.alphametals.com/omnixsolder/pdfs/OM_6106.PDF

Help! i just rec'd my next job from our marketing people and it has a .5mm pitch BGA 8mmX8mm size. Along with this kit came the stencil. So, I have never placed this fine of a BGA before and I am pretty worried about the stencil releasing the past

That will depend on so many factors: solder type / flux type sphericity of balls in paste stencil type (laser chem etch, electro form etc.) print paramaters I will tell you that it can be done.

Not to trivialize the comments in the above posting, but yer blanked. The old refrain from the sales types: "I shot it, you skin and cook it!!"

Just to finish this up, We did manage to print this little part with good success without any major re-setup of printer settings I would not recommend these parameters for production to anybody however. You can print 2-3 boards before it starts to

Kinda what I thought, Ken, what would the parameters be relating to sphericity, flux, etc... We use type 3 63/37 usually watersoluble but for this I think I'm gonna have to use no-clean paste. When you say it can be done, what exactly does that

sphericity and consistency are important. egg shaped, dog-boned shape snd tear-drops work against you and promote clogging and in-effective "transfer efficiency". One of the most signifficant factors will be brand/type. Not all fluxes are created
