Category:PCB SMT Stencil
The purpose of an SMT stencil is to transfer solder paste to a bare circuit board. Before the assembly of the SMT components solder paste is printed onto the component pads of the printed circuit board by stencil, which are today usually manufactured from steel, more rarely from nickel or polyimide.
The PCB screen printing stencil manufacturing process can be roughly divided into two aspects: pulling net and net drying. There are a lot of small operations in these two aspects. Let's take a look a...(view more)
Hello, I was wondering about specs on SMT stencil ordering. I am looking to make some sort of template for aperature layout of some parts. I was wondering some issues that you have all came across or ...(view more)
Has anyone has experience using DEK's PumpPrint plastic stencils? We're starting to think about adhesive printing on THT populated boards. These stencils are thick and have undersides routed-out for c...(view more)
We are going to have 29x29 tubular frame stencils. We are going to use a stencil washer machine. We are going to have a Metro Stencil rack to hold the stencils. How can I mark the outside of the stenc...(view more)
Using metal squeegees on GSPs has caused premature stencil wear. Has anyone had any success with this combination? How much snap off did you use? We are using 5 mm pitch and have a no clean process.(view more)
I'm investigating replacing my Stencil Cleaner. After searching the fine archives of SMTNET, I'm as clouded as ever..... So let me ask this... Are there any USERS out there who have a sten...(view more)
Hey, What implications are there when cleaning a stencil of conductive adhesives rather than solder paste? I'm looking to change over to this medium but i'm struggling to find any journals or da...(view more)
