What type of flux is in your solder paste? Active or No-Clean? With lead free solder you really should be using an active flux. The lead free oxidizes during reflow if you are not using a Nitrogen or Vapor Phase reflow. So a more robust and activ

Hello sir, Limits in SPI can vary a lot, also depending on finishing of the pcb. For example 170% volume on an IC (assuming is fine pitch) can be okay for ENIG, but very bad if HASL. For are I would recommend that you use either 50-130, or 60-135 max

The QFP pitch is 0.5mm. Pad size is 1.475 x 0.3mm, and the new aperture size is 1.32 x 0.22mm. I'm not sure about whether or not it is lasered, but on the newly ordered stencil I selected the polishing option. Looks like the pad width is already 2/3

Hi, I'm trying to put together a directory of component manufacturers that offer a lead free alternative for their devices. If anyone knows of manufacturers that are producing these devices then it would be greatly appreciated if you could pass the

If you're looking for PWB cleanliness , please consider one surface treatment other than HAL (i.e HRF-heat resist flux). HRF is a very inexpensive and effective process that your board manufacturer can provide you to meet your requirement. For gold

Adam: I would say that you do have a reliability problem. - check parts for solderability - check your board finish - check your profiles - check your paste - check your processes with focus on cleanliness - do some mechanical tests, you should rath

Bill, I would assume that the stencil rests on the soldermask especially when you use a metallblade. If you know the difference in height between soldermask and land you could take that into your volume calculation when figuring out your desired ste
