Hi robgd3, your DI system installer is right in his recommendation for a tankless/on-demand system. You know what? We are in the same situation six months ago and all my concerns were met when I installed this tankless water heater.

We have a board with a 1.0mm pitch BGA. The stencil apertures are 0.0177 inch diameter. We used an electroform stencil with good results.

What foil thickness? Type 3 or 4 paste? Have you checked your area ratio(s)? You could overprint or drop your foil thickness by one mil to improve the ratio and paste transfer. As always you can search the fine SMTnet archives for more info.

What type of flux material does your solder paste have? I have seen difficulties when attempting to print small apertures with water washable and rosin types. Do you get a good first print and then have problems or is it the same from the start?

No Pete, > > problems start with very first > print. OK, So what is the flux type in your paste?

Does anyone know of a masking material that could be applied over test pads that could be left on board that ICT test probes will pierce? could be tape or dispensed material. Thanks!!

I would call PPM and ask them. They are still selling the machines. I dont think a vga monitor will work but a monitor with a bnc connection may work.

You will need to purchase a VGA kit for your MVS100 board. Call PPM if they don't have one let me know I have a spare kit That I would consider selling.
