I would recommend you discuss it with your stencil manufacturer.  We send
our gerbers and manufacturing prints for step and repeat info, and frame
size, etc.. and let our stencil manufacturer make recommendations\
determinations based on the data.

Subject: [TN] Stencil Thickness

Hello Technetters,

 

We have to order a stencil and I'm not too sure what to do in this
situation.  I use IPC-7525A for selecting the stencil thickness.  While 99%+
of the components are way within the Laser Range, 6mil thickness, there is a
component which leads are 11mil x 34mil.  In the 6mil thickness chart, this
falls in the electroform range.  What I'm a risking if I still select laser
cut, 6 mil thickness?  What would you guys suggest?

 

Thanks to all!

 

JF
