To most of our boards I give 20-30% tolerance in both directions. From experience if you have big aperture on your stencil, the squeegee will scoop certain amount of paste from this aperture and you will see lower height. Depending on your board supp

m_imtiaz, Over the last 15 years or so I've found that using the stencil foil thickness +2mils/-0mils has worked very well. For example, if you have a 5mil stencil thickness your upper control limit would be 7mils and your lower control limit would

To all, This may appear to be laziness on my part, but I need to ask for some advice. We are in the process of qualifying no-clean solder paste to replace or current RMA paste. I have performed qualification runs and extensive reliability testing

When switching from cleaning RMA to a no-clean flux, one area that is commonly overlooked is the stencil cleaning operation. Stencil cleaners that are effective in cleaning RMA often fail when cleaning no-clean (especially alcohol cleaners). Pallet

Kris: I can appreciate your hesitance. Done correctly with proper planting and fore thought, the change to no-clean affects every part of your operations operations from purchasing to receiving and on down the line. Two things: 1 Following with y

Hi all Pls. help advise. Our board use RMA solder paste (Pb-free Sn96.5/Ag3.0/Cu0.5). Can we use No-clean paste flux (Delta 670S1) in rework process? If it can not be used, why?. Thanks very much for your advice. Surachai

A no-clean paste with an above average amount of halides should do the trick. Kester EP256HA is a good choice for this application if you are using a leaded alloy (Sn63 or Sn62).

Kenny: Since you need to use water soluable flux and can't use no-clean, consider asking your board fabricator to plug the via.

OA: as in Organic Activated type of Solder paste, meaning the flux vehicle is an organic type. which is actually a water-soluble type. this is the opposite of a NoClean type.

Hi I don't see in your note any particular reasons why you couldn't. If it solders well and passes what ever specifications you are using than everything is OK. If your repair faces some soldering or rework challenges where a more agressive flux is
