I'm looking for a shareware software that I could use for specifying stencils (we are stencil users not manufacturers). I would like to enter some preliminary spec in a software form, such as: the smallest pad geometry on pcb (possibly selected from

You may try reduction on stencil aperture on the particular IC location. Reduction on width and extend outer length may help to minimise solder ball issue. However, please look into stencil foil thickness to meet AR.

I'm actually currently in the process of discussing with stencil MFG regarding the apertures and reduction to see if perhaps it was not optimal for this fine pitch QFN, as just as you mentioned, we have similar products with similar QFNs that do not

Working DFM SMT issues with respect to a client's artwork together with a heavily modified solder stencil, I was able to reduce 0402 tombstoning from 80% across the board to 3%. I winged the aperture reductions, but are there any "rules" or guidelin

We're seeing shorting from the lead of an electrolytic cap to the can. It appears to be solder wicking up the lead, through the boot, and then shorting to the can. Has anyone else experienced this? It is a very cheap cap from China of course, but

Verify your aperture reductions in the stencil. Are the solderballs always in the same location? Same size & shape? Is the solder leaching through plated thermal holes from the opposite side of the PCB? Are you using stencil apertures designed to min

Thermal pads located underneath leadless devices require a 50% reduction in the stencil aperture.
