Sean, Have you contacted Speedline Technologies applications enegineers? They have a lot of knowledge about SPOTT working with customers over the years to develop the process. I myself have experience doing SPOTT. I used Fuji GSP2 printers with overs

We are just starting to manufacture a PCB with a .039" fine-line PBGA. We are currently seeing voids, mainly in the center, that are as much as 45%. We also intermittently see the corner balls of the PBGA smaller than the center balls. We are using a

Hi, There are a number of things you can try. You are already using 1:1 hole to pad ratio, and that's good as you need the size. I would try an electroform stencil as that will have a smooth side of the aperture and help paste release. Don't use c

You are correct in understanding that the vision system comes into play for subsequent boards- to align them. Yes- if you missalign the first board and set the cameras to that board, all subsequet boards will not be aligned. Mylar is a thin polyester

myu, Is using a 0.6mm stencil wise? 42.5 X 42.5 has two models, the 1mm pitch has 41x41 array with 1657 I/O and the 1.27mm pitch has 33x33 with 1088 I/O. For a typical c-cga with 1.0mm - 1.27mm pitch, may requires a 2mil stencil, 1.0mm pitch gets .

We are a small volume pwb house and I am tring to convince the people here that we should purchase a stencil cleaner. Besides the obvious of cleaning all of the past out of the apertures what are other benefits of usings a cleaner of hand cleaning.

Thanks Phil. However, my objective is to identify stencils that are not 100% clean prior to sending to inventory. I want to catch it before the solder paste has a chance to dry and harden in the apertures. Kerry

Every stencil supplier I have worked with had this type of information available in some format. I recommend contacting whoever you are purchasing stencils from and asking for the information. Scott Snider

We assume your stencil is clean. So, try: * Reduce stencil separation speed. * Reduce squeegee pressure. If the pressure is not proper, excess number of particles are stuffed into an aperture and inner pressure / friction among particles increase, an

How thick is the stencil? Also what type of paste? We have a nice little microscope that has gradients on the lens so we can measure whether an aperture is 8 thou or not. Almost always it is but then we buy from a couple of good stencil suppliers.
