We are about to do a second iteration of something we struggled mightily with last time and I'm hoping to at least make a step in the right direction. There are 12 of these parts on the board and virtually all of them required removal and replacemen

Step stencils are used but only when necessary. One reason to use one would be a PCB with 12 mil pitch and very large coils or something of that nature. The 12 mil pitch part would require a 4 mil thick stencil to ensure release while it would caus

Hi MikeS, I didn't post all the information, because I didn't want to mislead you. I wanted to see your way. We tried 3mil and 4 mil stencil using type 4 paste. It was hard to get the right aspect ratio and that;s why we did it on Nickel stencil - a

| Does any body know stencil manufacturer in states or south east asia for electroforming processes and step down from 5mil to 3mil. | | Thanks! | Daniel, I do alot of work with Photoetch stencils in Massaschusetts. I do not have the Phone number h

I have an application that uses 0201 devices coupled with ceramic column grid arrays. The coplanarity of the balls is specified not to exceed 7 mils! 4 mil foil for 0201's with a selective buildup to 7mil for the ceramic. Bloody designers! Take y

Can someone please help with the aperture size on a Micro BGA stencil. I want to have an electroformed stencil made with 0.1mm (4mil) thickness. The PCB pad for the micro BGA has a 0.406mm (16mil) diameter. What size should I make the apertures for t

10mil square apertures should be ok with your 4mil stencil.

6 mils maybe? instead of 6mm? We go down to 5 mils and up to 7 with 0603. You could even use a 4mil stencil for these without any problems. The .2mm (.0078")apart however might get you in trouble unless your equipment is rock solid.

hi initially, as per PCB design and gerber file of PCB we got 5 mil stencil, during process observed lot of solder balls (70-80%), then we decided to go for 4 mil stencil with c-cut. now the problem is reduced and still solderball exists which is a

Still considering going from 5mil to 4mil stencil. Concern is the 50mm part might have issues with contact on the outside rows.
