Hi Chris, the same reduction as for fine pitch (10-15%)has decreased the amount of solderballs enormously. Sure, with adequate pad design and good printing equipment and processcontrol you can get the same results but it does no harm as long as you

As a general guidline I would agree with a 10% aperature reduction on chip caps , resistors, and fine pitch provided correct land geometries. When soldering to HASL surface finishes. Three things you may want to consider ; the stencil thickness, the

When you get to fine pitch you might want to try reducing the aperture on the long dimension of the pad only. If you reduce the width of the pad you can get solder paste left in the stencil giving insufficient or unsoldered joints. Reducing the lengt

BTW, The surrounded QFN fine pitch terminals should have the normal aperture reduction of 7 % in case of RoHS Senju solder paste. This works for our Telecom customer. The vias in the ground pad will be somewhat filled with solder and makes it diffi

One thing we found out when we did new stencil is this, you reduce the stencil aperture by 10% is actually based on the Gerber. Please note also that the PCB supplier also makes the PCB according to the Gerber and there is a reduction on the pads as

Aperture reduction @ 5 mils thickness is your best bet. It may take several attempts to get just the right paste volume. What aperture reduction was specified to the stencil house for these specific LEDS? or was the stencil blindly produced using a

A question for those that carry out SPI. How do you program? Do you take CAD data for the card which will provide a 1-1 pad outline or do you use the stencil data for the program is the actual tool used to determine the paste volume (Aperture reduct

| Does anyone have any information on stencil aperture/pad ratios for noclean solder paste. In the past I have experienced severe solder ball problems when using the same size apertures from aqueous products as I do with the No-clean products. Cons
