Hi All, Can someone please help, I have a number of tall surface mount components that according to IPC 610 (8.2.2.3) are a fail due to the end termination not wetting at least 0.5mm + solder height. The components are very well soldered but the sol

Your product is Class 3, correct? Otherwise, a clearly wetted connection is all you need.

You could use a stepped stencil around the parts you're having issues with to add a greater paste deposit to them and not the rest, or slightly elongate the apertures and overprint, but this may lead to solder balling.

In addition to robl's suggestions, I would look at the footprint on the board to make sure it meets the recommended dimensions. Abnormal layouts, particularly when pads extend under the component too far, can be problematic both by lifting the part

Hi Steve Thanks for coming back to me, you are correct IPC class 3 is required. We are getting great wetting onto the device but not as per IPC 3 with the wetting rising about 0.25mm. I am questioning whether it is actually possible with such a (re

Hi, I need one clarification about solder paste printing height tolerance. How to define and fix the solder paste height tolerance after screen printing for inspection purpose. Currently we are using 5mils thickness of stencil, in that we are gave

Start with targets based on the stencil thickness (for height) and stencil thickness times the aperture size (for volume). * Set reasonable upper and lower control limits (+ 25% and –25 % of the targets, for example). * Next, check the printer set-u

first: what is your problem after reflow? second: a good rule of thumb is a tolerance of 1 mil. for example..if you got 5 thou stencil thickness then your range of thickness is 6-/+1 thou.. then you just improve after you get your height data and ana

To most of our boards I give 20-30% tolerance in both directions. From experience if you have big aperture on your stencil, the squeegee will scoop certain amount of paste from this aperture and you will see lower height. Depending on your board supp

want to know the tolerance the paste height in the solder paste printing. for example if stencil thickness is 7 mil, what will the acceptance level of paste height ( upper and lower) kindly share if any guidelines or formula for the same
