Good morning, Worth system for 0.5mm or more pitch paste printing. For less pitch (uBGA, 0.4mm etc) framed stencil are preferred due to better tensioning. Main issue with them is handling. Stencil apertures that are used for tensioning might be easi

Most Durastone product have a very low moisture absorbtion rate. This makes it ideal to water wash them. I wouldn't tlet them soak in the water, but you shoul dbe safe to wash them usinf water. Once the water is used up, you should treat it as a h

Wash them in Saponifier frequently at around 40C rinse and dry thoroughly. I would imagine it could be going white if you have a resin system in the flux that is not water soluble. Ensure you are using suitable pallet material up to 300C for Lead Fre

Thanks for the reply Dave. We send out a solder sample for analysis every 30 Wave Solder days. At this point I am not sure how many of these boards will be done in that time frame. Might to be a good idea to send the sample off sooner if a large qu

With a 7 thou stencil, we'd go 1 to 1. So for a more typical 6 thou stencil, we'd bump the aperture area by 1.15, maybe 1.2. We make no distinctions between 'innies' and 'outies'. Are you talking about castellations on land grid devices [ie, BCC�, L

In addition to what frank said, I have also just placed the board on the work bench, but instead of trying to hold the board and stencil in place I would make a frame for the board using double sided tape, and after aligning I would tape the far edge

That is very interesting... I am curious though, why wasn't a plain blind rivet used? You probably can, but personally, I would be not want a solder joint holding the frame and the pcb... Mechanical stress on solder joints often leads to not good re
