You could reduce the paste by about 70%. Solder balling and tombstoning will be the issues to fight. The drivers to these don't change with the component size. Use the fine SMTnet Archives for background. Aperture Size and Thickness of Solder Pas

Hi Mika, I used to work for the largest chip cap manufacturer in the world, and by far the largest problem we would see was cracking due to incorrect z height adjustment on Chipshooters. It can also cause solderballs and bad joints by displacing th

Actually 0603 is 8mm x 4mm pitch. 0201 and 0402 are 8mm x 2mm pitch. 0603, 0805, 1206, 1210 are 8mm x 4mm pitch. Tant Caps 3216 & 3528 packages are 8mm X 4mm pitch. 6032 and 7343 are 12mm X 8mm pitch. ICs, Diodes, Transistors are various sizes and d

Hi all, At our Fuji CP-6 machines we place a lot of 0402:s, 0603:s and 0805:s chip capacitors. Our problem is that the height of the components can sometime be very extreme from different vendors. I am sure you all have experience of this phenomenon

Awww, don beso tuff on ursef!!! It sounds like you�re thinking correctly with what you�ve done, but it�s possible that the test you ran did not represent your actual production environment as well as you would have liked. So, you just need to "cran

Everybody aware of the tomb-stone problem on 0402 package. I've done everything I could i.e. Profile, placement, 10 Deg placement, stencil design, but still this culprit exist. One things for sure is taht I have a very bad pad size for 0402 ( 25 mil

Hi, We are running 0402 component on the TCM1000 and we find that teher will be missalignment on 0402 Capositor. We have identified that the missalignment is caused by the wrong information from the vision system while doing vision centering. The sy

Hi Grant, Murata do 0402 chip caps on 50K reels - example: GRM1555C1H101JZ01J 0402, 100pf, NPO/C0G 50V 5% (make sure the final letter is included - the J denotes the reel size - D is standard 10K) Rohm MCR01 series (0402 resistors) come on 6inch, 1

Hello Danial, Leave it up to most to blame the relow oven for their tombstoning problems when in fact it is usually the last to cause it. The biggest culprit of tombstoning is the pad design followed by the print quality. Usually, we find that the p

I have one pcb which has via holes on both solder pads of 0402 chips. Right now im using type 3 solder paste with 45 degree squeegee. and a lot of these chips are tombstoning. Im guessing with larger particle size of solder paste, the solder will
