Indium Corporation will feature its high-reliability, gold (Au)-based precision die-attach preforms for critical laser and ...

The result is a panel that looks exactly the same no matter which side you start with. One x-y pick and place file and one solder paste stencil suffice for both sides of the board in one go. Aside ...

Paste stencil design is not black magic. Using the right tools and with some experience, PCB designers can learn the ropes and design stencils for their PCBs, shortening the time to manufacturing ...

Solder paste printing needs to be realized through a stencil. The stencil opening needs to be aligned with the substrate pad to achieve accurate printing. It can be said that the stencil quality has a ...

SMT Stencil Clean Roll is used to remove solder paste residues or other viscous materials allocated into the stencil apertures or stencil contact side surface. Based on the material complexion, the ...

While using a stencil should make solder paste application onto PCBs a simple affair, there are a number of “gotchas” that make it more art than science. Luckily, there are tools you can build ...

Imagine having a surface mount kit that you’d like to stencil with solder paste and reflow solder, but which doesn’t come with a solder stencil. That was what faced [Honghong Lu], and she rose ...

Designing stencil apertures to industry-acceptable area ratios is also of great importance to ensure all the printed solder paste material is deposited on the substrate. 2 These sets of experiments ...
