Hi, I have a few questions regarding printed circuit board. What is the difference between the solder pads and the solder resist or mask? What is the purpose for the solder resist? What color is it? When printing solder paste should the paste be

Bill, Are you starting your own solder paste company ? Just curious. If you are mixing paste for production at your factory, the hand mixing method works fine. We have mixed millions of grams this way.

Yes, there is a way to print solder paste into through holes as well as for SMT devices. I suggest you contact Alden Johnson at MPM in Franklin, MA (website info at http://www.mpm.com) about what he has done here. The trick in getting the solder pa

I am curious to know anyone has used Samtec SEMA Solder Charge connector (SEARAY Seriese. I have done manufacturer's recommended solder paste and good reflow profile still the solder is leaching to the lead instead of becoming a solder connection. T

Ellaborating on Evtimov's answer: - solder paste type, think about solder granulation and viscosity. Both of these will directly affect print quality if wrong print parameters used. You will normally find recommended print parameters on the solder pa
