Hi! i would like to have opinion about the solder paste release. is it better on a 5mil or 6 mil thickness stencil? thank you!

The ratio of aperture opening area to aperture wall area is a critical evaluation measure for the release of the printed solder paste. The stencil thickness has the biggest impact on area ratio.

We assume your stencil is clean. So, try: * Reduce stencil separation speed. * Reduce squeegee pressure. If the pressure is not proper, excess number of particles are stuffed into an aperture and inner pressure / friction among particles increase, an

Has anyone tried using a product thet when applied to a stencil, it facilitates the release of solder paste from the stencil, including the fine pitch openings. It makes the stencil's surface "fluxophobic". Same principle as Rain-X for windshield. A

I think you are referring to nano coatings. Try google nano coated stencils

Don't kid yourself, something has changed. * Worn stencils should produce better release and greater paste deposits than less worn stencils. * Consider inspecting the effectiveness of your cleaning process with a X10 magnifier. * Temperature in your

Hi, That's what I am thinking, and we might have a dirty stencils and cannot see the problem. We are going to get a magnifier, and check it out. I did not think the stencil could bur, but I didn't want to shoot the guys down when they had an idea on

Hi, We have been running the same stencils for about a year, 5 thou thick, 1-mm pitch BGA's and every-things been ok, but then suddenly over the last week, 2 different products have had paste release issues with the BGA. It's odd because nothings c

Check your stencil apertures making sure they are trapazoidal and smooth. I have hadjobs where the laser stencil was improperly cut (poor laser settings leaving a rough hole even after electropolish. Be sure to specify a .0005 trapazoid in your ste
