For height, I start +-2mil usually. For 3mil stencils, my lower limit starts at 1.5mil, upper is 5. If the area is chem ethed, I normally add .5 to the stencil height. My default volume is 60 - 160%. Then print specs are adjusted till I see fit, then

Hello, I havea 0.4mm pitch TQFP with heat transfer pad on the bottom side of component. I will appreciate any suggestions with regards to: 1) stencil thickness (Rest of components on board are 0603 passives and few 40 mil pitch IC's) 2) Stencil

None of the IPC standards care how boards are soldered

Go with the machine manufacturer's recommendations. And remember there are no hard and fast keep out areas. You can go a little tighter than they suggest but it is risky.

One thing I have done in your situation is ask the customer if they have any older design boards that are similar in thermal mass or if they have any from proto work, etc.... Otherwise find/make a board of similar thermal mass as best you can.

IPC-2221A, Generic Standard on Printed Board Design, the base document that covers all generic requirements for printed board design, regardless of materials. From there, the designer can choose the appropriate sectional standard for a specific techn

People like flat surfaces for placing and reflowing certain components, like fine pitch devices. Some board suppliers can supply HASL that is flat and well controlled from an amount of material stand-point. Unlike OSP, HASL has a wonderful shelf-li
