Applying solder paste to a new custom PCB is always a little nerve-racking. One slip of the hand, and you have a smeared mess to clean up. To make this task a little easier, [Max Scheffler] built ...

Thus, for high-volume lines, a solder paste with a balanced initial viscosity and responsive thixotropic behavior is optimal. High-mix environment. In high-mix environments, where PCB layouts are ...

The result is a 3D model that is like a solder paste mask combined with a raised border to match the board outline, so that the whole thing self-aligns by fitting on top of the PCB. A handy ...

A short OpenSCAD script to generate a simple 3D-printed jig to hold a two-sided PCB while solder paste is applied with a stencil. The jig raises the PCB off the bench enough to allow components on the ...

It is generally agreed that, on average, 40% to 60% of the defects generated by a surface mount production line can ...

Solder paste stencil (SPS) is a type of metal or plastic sheet that has holes or cutouts that match the solder pads on the PCB. SPS is used to apply solder paste to the PCB in a controlled and ...

The easiest way to apply solder paste onto a PCB is by using a stencil. But when prototyping, the layout of the PCB changes over time. For small PCBs often the stencil is more expensive than the PCB ...

Select from a maximum 3 types of resolution Super high-resolution technology makes automated inspections on the same type PCB while switching between a ... support production process quality ...
