Hi All!

I've stencil printing adhesives for a while now, but I've run into a problem
with this one assembly. The problem is that on the backside of this board
there are about 30 or so MELF diodes with square endcaps (A JANTX part), and
these parts stand-off the board enough so that the part doesn't contact to
epoxy.

Cookson used to have a good article about stencil design when stencil
printing adhesives, if I remember the article correctly, it stated that with
proper design, you could get the adhesive height taller than the stencil
thickness...I think they took it off their web page because the article was
saying you could get variable dot heights by stenciling the epoxy, and thus
you don't need a Camelot dispenser B^D

I can't increase the stencil thickness, because I'm stenciling epoxy for
0805's, and I'm afraid if I go thicker on my stencil, the epoxy won't release
with the small openings. Does anybody still have that *.PDF? Or possibly give
me some insight to increase the dot height?

I sure would be appreciative...
