Not exactly normal, I don't think. Though I have seen similar in the CM world. I can't think of a way to remove that overplating, either. If you can't reject the boards outright, then you might be looking at some touch up work, should bridging hap

Your problem is common on this solder defect. It is sometimes known as squeeze balls. The formation of these result from excess volumes of paste applied to the pads. Once the paste melts and covers the pad and component termination,the excess has no

>*Changing paste >EricD: Yes we are considering that as a point. Because I believe the paste we are using are in syringe packaged and designed for dispensing. We are using an Indium SMQ75 paste and current application naturally is stencil printing.

What are the defects you see when the stencil is over 50 n/cm? I can't recall ever seeing a (stencil caused) defect that wasn't a dent, ding or some other physical damage, and I would have a very hard time sending back a stencil that is working fine,

I�ve just had an argument with my Boss on the frequency of Stencil cleaning. He told me to remove the procedures that asking the operator to send the Stencil for cleaning ( using Automatic machine ) after every 8 hours. I said big NO!! NO!!. He said

We are using the Universal tooling..the one with the side plates. I'm not sure what the C-tool is. The machine did not come with much. I'm running the vision system test now..I've never done it before..but I'll let you know what happens with it. To

Fabricators take different approaches in developing paste that is more or less prone to solder balling. That being said, you should be able to overprint 250 thou, no problem. Prove this to be correct by printing paste on a scrap board with an obsol

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

I like AIM solder paste, personally. But, much like asking which pick and place machine is best on this board, you're likely to get as many opinions as there are paste manufacturers. I just took a look at Alpha's datasheet for this product, and it

Hi. We are planning a production run of a board that utilises the SEMTECH SLP2710P8 8-pin device (2.7 x 1.0 x 0.58mm). The part orientation on the board necessitates that the squeegee print direction approaches the stencil apertures on the long side
