Before this wave solder pallet salesman blather gets too far out-of-control, let�s stop for a minute. The three major approaches you have are: 1 SELECTIVE SOLDERING: Using: * Specialty wave soldering machine to solder specific areas of a board * P

As stated previous, the following elements all have a effect on solder beading. Solder Paste, stencil apertures(reduction of home plate), stencil thickness, printing parameters, placement height, reflow preheat and soaking slope and dwell, manufactur

We recently reduced our standard aperture reduction to aid in the reduction of solder on gold defects. Since this reduction in aperture size, we have been experiencing exposed copper at the end of the component pads. The heel and toe joints are per

| Has anyone seen/used these yet? They seem to have lower coefficient of friction for release of paste and less wear and tear as well as conforming to the board better (plastic has better memory than stainless). Also there is no mesh so a larger ima

Zulfiqar, The company that makes these stencils is a Canadian company named KJ Marketing (I'll paste a link to the web site in this message). It sounds pretty interesting. I've communicated with a few people that have used these stencils and the

On over printing, the general issues are: * Paste deposits being so large that when reflowing, collapse onto many, rather than a single solder mass. * Paste expanding during heating and being close to other solder deposits and bridging [as you say].

Hi John, Depending on your board, it could make a difference. Copper finishes might leave that part of the pad exposed, which is a no-no in most places. Where as a HASL board prolly won't care if you pulled the print back. On the other end, over

No arument with others comments about moisture, but taking a different tact, consider that the volitle elements of the solder paste disppear as a function of the amount of time the paste is out of the container. [Maybe as a function of solder paste

Steve, I have no influence over conn design. We paste print-reflow solder two types of connectors. One is a 50 pin IDC w/ 0.5mm lead dia @ 2.54mm lead pitch and a chamfered pointed lead tip. The other is 32 pin DIP w/ 0.36mm lead dia @ 2.54mm pitch

Could be. I am making overprint to achieve proper amount of solder paste inside hole. Now I am trying to reduce maximum overprint and compensate it with step - up stencil. This could reduce effect that some particles of solder paste are not gathering
