For ICT purposes I may need to print solder paste on 0.015" test vias. No-clean is not an option for this assembly and OA seems the only choice. Can flux be safely removed from inside the via from the other side during a standard water wash process

Mantis: Kenny reflows paste on [wave solders] all via, not just the test via, to plug the via and provide for a pressure seal between the board and the test fixture. Beyond that, since solder is softer than copper [and fills the hole better], solde

We want to get a process running to print paste with a thicker plastic stencil with some room left underneath for preassembled components. I know DEK offers these stencils but since we are using an MPM printer they don't want to sell to us stencils f

Hi Erhard, Go to http://www.globalstencil.com They are the stencil firm that worked with MPM for developing technology for printing with thick stencils that are milled out on the bottom to account for existing components on the top side of a PC boa
