Russ asks good questions and I think Chunks pretty much nailed it. Aspect ratio (aperture width/stencil thickness) s/b 1.2 minimum (I like 1.5 if I can get it). If your aperture width = lead width (.008"), yours is 1. Tough to get consistent paste r

Has anyone had success using a DEK Proflow printhead with fine pitch components (~.2mm pitch). I have been told that squeegees are the way to go for fine pitch. What other major factors play a role in successfully printing fine pitch. Print speed,

What do you all do to fix coplanarity on fine pitch QFPs? I know that the best thing would be to send them back to the vender, but what about the when you gotta use them? Straightening by hand seems to be so time comsuming. Any better ways? Larry

hello guys ; we are using a fine pitch component(0.65mm) on a thick copper PCB (Cu = 90�m) ; in this case we notice that we are in the process'limits , because the different supplier of the PCB are not able to ensure a good stability of it's process

Thanks for the replies. I have just ordered the IPC Stencil Design Guidelines manual.

See if you can get a sample of Dek's Nano Protek. We use it on all our fine pitch stencils. I'd say it's kind of like car wax for the aperture walls. They operators really like it a bug me every day to order more if we run out.

0.5 if you use electroformed stencil or > 0.8 if you use laser cut. 2. Always use fresh paste 3. Uses the right printer parameters for your paste(for example Alpha likes fast release of the stencil from the board - in DEK this is called separation s

Yes, I agree with Evtimov. It's more about aperature reduction and type than it is the type of machine. Aspect and and Area Ratio are very important. Take a look at this page I found on the internet http://www.qualiecocircuits.co.nz/stencil-techno

I heard it works well on Chrome Rims for your car too. Swag, I'm not at all suggesting that your operators have discovered this and this is why you keep running out and have to keep ordering it :-p
