> 
> Hi fellow Techneters,
> 
> I have many questions on the "paste in hole" or "pin in paste" process. For

> connectors in the SMT process and expect the connectors to be placed by
> hand.
> 
> How do I design the stencil for the THT connectors? Someone said to put four
> small squares of paste around each hole of the connector......
> 
> Do my reflow temps change a great deal? Is there anything else I need to
> consider? Is the reliability of this process proven???.... and we don't have
> to expect any great field issues as long as we stick to IPC-A-610?
> 
> Many questions for a Monday.....
