Boy, does this sound familiar. I agree with Dave, especially his point about board side taping. The kapton tape has a thickness of approximately 2mils. You artificially increase your paste thickness with this method. It also can be a cause for br

Wister, I agree with the other comments as far as challenging the customer, and minding proper height/width or better yet area aspect ratios. Let's assume you need to go with a .012" stencil for arguments sake. Talk to your stencil supplier about h

Maybe someone has a good explanation for this, but I'm wondering why your customer would dictate the equipment you use in your process. I thought typically contracts define the quality standards and you decide how to get there....show's you what I k

Steve, someone somewhere is feeding you a line!! if you increase the draft angle from || to / \ on your laser cut stencil you increase the surface area of the side wall and hence increase the likelyhood of the paste sticking in the aperture. Whats m

We use the ASC vision master 212, our customers wanted a height and volume measurement rather than an inspector doing a visual. We have added this machine to our process, checking height on many preprogrammed locations then this generates a X bar and

Can someone please help with the aperture size on a Micro BGA stencil. I want to have an electroformed stencil made with 0.1mm (4mil) thickness. The PCB pad for the micro BGA has a 0.406mm (16mil) diameter. What size should I make the apertures for t

We're with the Ozzy's earlier posting on this thread. We make similar products, like: * Phantom products that are mostly complete and then are configured to order by adding or subtracting a couple of parts and some jumpers. * Version products like y

Hello. There is been a lot of talk about thick plastic stencils vs. metal stencils for adhesive printing, but how about thin plastic stencils? We used to use a very thin plastic stencil (from loctite) with printgap (=snap-off) to adhesive printing

Steve, your comments from your stencil vendor are very interesting. Any decent laser cutter automatically cuts a trapezoidal aperture. This is just the nature of the cutting. We have a bunch of lasers (and chem-etch). You have to polish your laser cu
