I have seen people take old stencils and cut out land patterns, place the component over the land pattern and use a orange stick to move the leads back into place.

High temp solder is the best, but your profiler manufacturer will have some type of adhesive. I know KIC does.

More often than not lately, we use Al tape [like Brian W mentioned in a recent thread].

Dave, I use Dexter Hysol epoxy 9340 gray. It's a two part epoxy kit. Thermally conductive and electrically insulative. Cures in about 10 minutes at 100C. Terry

One more variable I've remembered - pad height with respect to solder mask height. Pads being too low can cause stencil "gasketing" problems that in turn allow more paste to be deposited than needed. Are your fabs HASL or some other media?

I'm with you dave...please provide specifics as to defect condition... Are you getting good wetting to both land and lead? Is there any repeatability to lead/location/device? Do you have paste inspection capabilites to verify deposition? Is it a Pala

If I were you I would contact your solder paste applications engineer and your stencil applications eng. They are there for this very reason and are very capable

OK, part touching paste before reflow? Check part. Maybe bad plating. Check reflow profile by slowing conveyor.

Can u elaborate on the bad plating? Have u had any experience on this before? The component has 90/10 Tin lead plating

Questions are: * So after you spot one of these leads sitting on a nice pillow of solder, what happens? * Do you rework the part? * Does it take solder? * What do you do to make it take solder, if it does take solder?
