Good ventilation is also important to removing aerosols and other vapors. Make sure your building HVAC is pulling in a good portion of outside air. If people are complaining try to up the ratio of recirculated/outside air. This will add cost dependin

I can't seem to find an article about the limiting mass of a SMT component on the solderside of a double-sided reflowed PCB. I'm pretty sure that Phil Zarrow did an article on this subject. It went something like the mass/land surface area?

Amkor's MLF guidelines are very similar to Actels. 1 to 1 on the stencil to part pad on the I/O pads, 75% with a grid windowpane, 0.125 mm/5 mil stencil. For example, the Actel area ratio for a 0.3 mm sq. pad and 0.125 mm stencil is 0.6 which seems

Your solder stencil design should follow all basic rules for solder stencil design are followed in accordance with IPC-7525 including adherence to an area ratio of 2:3 or greater and an aspect ratio of 1.5 or greater.

The results from an experiment comparing 27 different combinations of pad dimensions concluded that the pad design with 15 mil pad length, 12 mil pad width, and 9 mil pad separation produced the best assembly yields. A 5 mil thick laser cut stencil

On over printing, the general issues are: * Paste deposits being so large that when reflowing, collapse onto many, rather than a single solder mass. * Paste expanding during heating and being close to other solder deposits and bridging [as you say].

Steve: There are guidelines for determining if your aperture has the correct proportions to the foil thickness. Maybe that�s what you�re looking for: 1 Aspect ratio = aperture width/foil thickness Chemically etched SB GT 1.5 Laser cut SB GT 1.2

Not as such. Look at IPC-7525 �Stencil Design Guidelines� The issues are: area and aspect ratios. They relate the size of the aperture opening to the thickness of the stencil. Check the fine SMTnet Archives for guidelines.

Is that accurate? If so, what are your aspect & area ratios? [Similar to the JerryS comment above.] * You say, � � and the average height is very high: nearly 200 pct.� => Our troop can make paste that height too. They snap the stencil-off a fast as

Hello Ok there is not much info here. What you have to mae sure of is several key factors. 1. Have you entered the correct stencil thickness. 2. Are you using the stencil gerber (not the paste layer) The paste layer is usually not adjusted for ap
