As a CM, we don’t have a lot of input on the PCB layouts we receive. Some engineers/software packages output the paste layer 1 to 1, some do an across the board reduction, and some set each part up individually with different reductions per footprin

We have a lead free assembly with a 128-Pin PQFP with 20 mil pitch leads. We have tried stencil aperture reductions, step-down stencils, different thickness stencils, various printer setting changes, placement pressure changes, nozzle changes, moved

| We have a double sided pcb that is surface mount on both sides. Now a Through Hole connector has been added. Appart from hand soldering does anyone have info. on reflow soldering the part. The connector is 0.1mm pitch, square legs. | 1) Do you need

Ramon, I have had experience in the problems you are witnessing. The problem can relate to a number of factors. Obviously the printing process is the first place to start your investigations, try looking at the stencil apertures for bleed under the

The typical PIP process is incorporated into the surface mount process. This approach requires the following: The stencil will be designed so that the correct amount of solder paste can be printed onto the through-holes to form an acceptable joint
