Personally, I prefer the OSP. I get a flat surface to deposit paste on, resulting in more consistent solder paste volumes. With HASL, the amount of plating and the mounding affect the paste deposition. I have even had it affect the placement. The

| I'm currently running a double sided paste smt board loaded with 0603's, on the secondary side. Many of the 0603 devices tombstone during reflow if the parts are not perfectly centered on the pads. Is this caused by the .008 foil thickness? Has any

There is an article on our web site by Richard Clouthier, �SMT Stencil Cleaning: A Decision That Could Impact Production.� He talks about how high pressure sprays can damage the delicate land mass areas between fine-pitch apertures. High pressure ai

Paste stored tip down, so separation in the tube is not suspect. Remember that the defect was produced on a screen printer running with a Rheopump. A few more details are that the strip of the board containing the uncoalesced solder is consistent w

Just a note about cleaning SMD adhesives. Cleaning does not need to be hazardous. Smart Sonic has a non hazardous process that has been used for over 9 years using a non hazardous detergent that has been certified by the AQMD as a clean air chemist

First, let me say what I always say: a good chem-etched stencil will print fine pitch. Chem-etch brings trap to the side walls because its a physical by-product of the process. Because they are less expensive you can add electropolish and still save
