| General Question to anyone. If you were to go out and build the ideal stencil for pasting boards, what would be the best way to build a stencil? I have some boards that have 19.7 mil pitch parts and the pad width is 10 mil. The length of the pa

Thanks a lot for the response 1) there are 8 BGA on this board 6 PBGA, 1 TBGA and 1 ESBGA (metal lid). They are dispersed over the board (approx 11"* 14") 2) Is there a tool to use to understand pitch/bump size and stencil aperture (optimized)? 3) Y

Wayne, Earl, I wish there was some way we could toss our wave solder machine forever! Unfortunately, we haven't found a way yet to do paste-in-hole reflow for large numbers of thru-hole axial and radial components, which we insert on Universal machi

| | Hi all, | I would like to have some information regarding the paste in holes process.We are the Backplane manufacturing and dealing with lots of thick PCB and would like to change the processes from wave to paste in hole.Any feed back of info

Hi, In few weeks I want to test the capabilities of our SMT Line. To do that I'll design a board. I want to test: - The Printing - The component placement - The soldering - Different stencil aperture - Mixed Technology (Thr

My 2 cents... Screen printing may very well have a leg up on deciding SMT defects... however if you pay attention to your stencil (aperture size ratio etc..) and inspect your prints... I believe its a much lesser number... (paste MFG also plays a ro

First of all THANKS for thr reply. I totally agree with u that paste dried,stencil aperture clogged like probs comes during the production but we hv a visual inspection stage (with 5X illuminated lamp)after printing process and before inserting the

Guys, Solder paste height worries all of us as we encounter the non wets after reflow. More so in fine pitch QFP's. The non wets are not always caused by solder paste height. Many other contributors. Even the pad geometry on te board can contribute t
