What are some general guidelines for the minimum proximity of apertures to a stepdown on a stepped stencil. I have a step from 7 mils to 5 (one mil step each on the top and bottom). How far does the step need to extend beyond the apertures on the

Step stencils are not widely used, due to: * Higher cost as compared to uniform thickness stencils * Danger of solder paste smearing at least close to the steps * Difficulty of cleaning the stepped stencil underside (the steps cannot be on the upper

Stepped stencils are usually the result of some dumb customer's requirement. 2 examples I can give: 1.) Customer demanded 50% wick-up the termination of a MELF component. No way you can get that from reflow. Played around with a drastic "step up

I recently finished analysis of no-clean fluxes and Ionic contamination and cleaning processes. The results were eye opening. Summary: If you clean a no-clean you better do a good job. Many no-cleans produce a "waxy binder" to encapsulate the tro

What are the long term issues with high tin content solders on parts plated with silver over copper? Is it possible that the silver will be absorbed by the solder then over a long period of time the tin will react with the copper causing it to part

we here are setting up our lead free process. Was curious about how others handle these issues. 1) Do you physicaly segregate leaded from non-leaded (different storage areas, shelving) for part storage? 2)Do you have a seperate board washer just for

we have used blue and red color solder mask on a trial basis for our LF assemblies. We are performing expts using Imm Sn and Imm Ag to determine the best surface finish. Also, we pass the LF baords thru the same inline wash as you dont wash away the

I have been wondering about the inline wash too. We have a sister company that we share a wash with and I asked them there thoughts and they didn't seem concerned. I thought there was a little lead in the flux also there is smt tools(squegees, scrape
