Much has been said on this subject. Try a search of the archives for the terms "Phil Zarrow" and "surface tension". You'll likely find what you need.

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?

Typically, the reliability of PCBs suffers significantly due to the increase in aspect ratio. It is not preferred to opt for high thickness boards. However, I would like to point out that your assumption seems to be wrong as board layers do not direc

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.

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.

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

My suggestion is to conduct a Design For Manufacturing (DFM)study on the assembly in question. Pay particular attention to the pad sizes, component lead dimensions and satisfy yourself that those two factors are correct. Given that pads match compone

What is the correct formula for Aspect Ratio? Thanks
