By changing paste and making a better profile, it seems like we have enough paste. The process was just not working very well with SN100. So far the 5mil looks good, so thanks for the input!

Mask Musings. Soldermask (SM) and its functions have changed and evolved over the years. As an ex-solder mask applicator, I can remember screening Colonial High Gloss Epoxy soldermask on boards back in the early 80's, ending up with a thickness that

emmanuel, John's right, as long as there is support, nothing changes. Depending on the size of the board fixtures might be a better option over support pins. Unless the pins jump out of the machine and follow it into the reflow oven, You never know!!

Hi, I am loading a new board with mostly 0603 packages. The pads are .5 mm apart and I am having a big problem with parts shifting towards eachother instead of centering on the pads. I believe this is caused by too much solder. I am using a 7mil sten

| I'm reviewing my board fab spec. It calls for a minimum SnPb thickness of 50 microinches on HASL PWB's. I've looked at other specs that call out anything from 30 to 80 microinches, and others that just say the copper pad must be covered and solde
