We consider stencils to be 'tools'. That way, we take steps to make sure they are available, when we start a build that requires them.

You might want to try reducing your stencil aperture by 10% first off; if it still swims try using a home plate design. Also if your profile is going into liquidous to fast, this might cause the swimming as well, check your profile.

We're just now beginning to see 0402's in our designs. Can anyone make recommendations on stencil/aperture designs and print parameters? I'm seeing skips on a small number of joints on these parts.
Thanks in advance,

Does anybody know where I can find an SMT 20 x 20 Quick Frame Stencil Adapter???? I've been hunting, and haven't had much luck. Let me know!
Thanks!

Aperture size should vary with the component [pitch]. That size should be the same a the pad size.

HI Andrea-
to answer Q:
1) Stencils can be order through various vendors that manufacture stencils. You would need to have CAD data for the Stencil company to make them. You design engineer should have the CAD info. Also, the stencil design company can assist in type of apperatures best for your

K&J Marketing sells a KEPOCH stencil made of polyimide that is cut with a laser.

* SMTnet Archives contain threads on them.

We usually use a pad that is the same size as the ball. And use a stencil thickness of 7+ mils. Why the teardrop?

Maybe I am miss reading this but I can not see where a Screen instead of a stencil will benefit you. Is the thinking the screen is plyable enough to contour to the surface?

0402 Adhesive printing is possible with thicker stencils in order to allow mixed component technology.
We have successfully printed 0402's with a 0.008" thick SS foil. Total material release is not achievable at this thickness, but not required using what is sometimes referred to as a "Pump

I'm a user changing over from WS-609 to WS-709. WS-709 has less voiding problem and longer stencil life than WS-609. Ws-709 has a less foaming during washing process.
Thanks,

I've never printed adhesive but I assume that aspect ratio still plays a part with release. Maybe that .006" is just to thick to get good release.
Can you step your stencil down from .006" to .004" or .005" for the 0402's?

Yes, I come from a land down under...currently participating in an unnecessary war in IRAQ!
But what about paste replenishment on both heads? Wastage? Damage to stencil problems if any? Maintenance? etc...

I am looking at dispensing solder paste using a Fuji GLV glue dispenser. This is to enable us to produce prototype pcb's without the need to purchase a stencil. Has anybody tried this before? If so what problems should I expect to encounter.

Hi,
We had tomb-stoning on a product, and it was quite severe. We eliminated it by reducing the amount of solder paste on the small passible component pads. We used a 5 thou stencil, with 20% reduction, and it eliminated the problem.

Now, this is good solid advice. If following this advice does not help there is something wrong with
1. the paste (reology failure)
2. the stencil (rough walls)
3. the board (bad design or fab)
(in order of likelyhood)

You may want to check your stencil aperture design too. The base ball pad design worked fine to solve my tombstone problem.
