Bill, I would assume that the stencil rests on the soldermask especially when you use a metallblade. If you know the difference in height between soldermask and land you could take that into your volume calculation when figuring out your desired ste

Hi,Wolfgang Busko, Thank you for your help. Still need some advice. If the OSP board having stencil rest on the solder mask, then, would it has more gasketing effect( solder paste squeezed out to the underside of the stencil), as compared to the HAS

We currently use HASL on all of our boards and I would like to move to something else. I have sampled some boards with Entek OSP and I loved it, the problem is we have plated mounting holes on just about every board we make. Does anyone have inform

As a manufacturer, I prefer plated nickel gold, electroless nickel immersion gold, immersion silver and palladium. These surface finishes are the best options to replace leaded surface finishes. These surface finishes can withstand higher temperature
