Steve,
We are using a 0.006" thick stencil (No stepped).
We have not had problems in making contact the body of the component with
the solder.

Alejandro,
We are currently looking into attaching the metal body of a SO8 component to
a pcb. Are you able to tell me whether or not you are using a stepped
stencil or a standard one, in order to acheive the required connection with
the body of the device to the PCB and also and the leg to the PCB ?. At the
moment we are using .006" thick stencils.
Regards
Steve.

We deposit solder paste under the component in order to help for heat
transfer.
The bottom side of the component is made of metal, then when I remove the
component we also remove the solder.
Applying solder paste again in the rework operation is a good idea.
Do you know how can we apply solder paste during rework?
Is it possible to use a mini-stencil? Where can I find a vendor for the
mini-stencil?
Thanks for your help.
Alejandro

If I understand correctly, you deposit solder paste under the component
during the initial build. After reflow, the paste solidifies and makes
contact with the bottom of the component for heat transfer. Your question
is what to do when replacing the component. How do you replace the solder
bumps under the device.
Is the body of the component ceramic or metal? If ceramic, when you remove
the devise the solder bumps should remain intact, nice and flat. Why not
leave these bumps as is and place the component, contacting the existing
bumps while soldering? If the case is metal, and you disturb the bumps
during removal, how about reapplying solder paste, placing the component and
reflowing it with a hot air terminal? Another option is to change the
drawing to allow the use of a thermal adhesive for rework.

Hello to All,
We have a circuit that requires solder under it because in order to
have a good thermal dissipation.
The circuit is a QFP48. When assembled in the line, the stencil has
apertures in the body of the component in order to apply solder.
We have tried to manually apply the solder with an iron tip, but
after cross-sectioning the repair component we have found that
sometimes the solder is not in contact with the component.
What could be the appropriate procedure to repair this component?
Regards,
Alejandro Becerra
