[Jan Mrázek]’s success with 3D printing a solder paste stencil is awfully interesting, though he makes it clear that it is only a proof of concept. There are a lot of parts to this hack, so let’s step ...

Navigating the balancing act with the application constraints. Understanding and controlling the assembly process window is not just about managing the solder paste. It’s about mastering all process ...

Abstract: For the ultra fine pitch applications, solder paste printing acts as one of the most critical step in the SMT assembly process. A review of literature indicates that solder paste printing ...

Abstract: Stencil printing continues to be the dominant method of solder deposition in high-volume surface-mount assembly. Control of the amount of solder paste deposited is critical in the case of ...

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 ...

Use of surface-mount technology (SMT) in consumer products offers a major competitive advantage—they enable significant design miniaturization. Surface-mount devices (SMD) come in a variety of ...

Accounting for the assembly process will put your design on the fast track. Thought-provoking questions keep coming my way, and then it’s down the old rabbit hole. So it goes something like this: “How ...

This project, sent in by [Henk], goes through a few different ways to make a solder stencil using a vinyl cutter, a CO2 laser, and a fiber laser. The project starts with identifying a method to ...

低価格でメタルステンシルが入手可能な時代になりました。 今回は、小型で使いやすいソルダーステンシルプリンターを自作しました。 以前、2万円代のステンシルプリンターを購入しましたが、ステンシルの版を持ち上げる際に「横にズレながら ...
