The IPC document for solder paste (actually it's a joint industry standard) is ANSI/J-STD-005. The new handbook for J-STD-001B "Requirements for Soldered Electrical and Electronic Assemblies" is J-HDBK-001. It has sections on screen and stencil printing. The handbook has been through all the approval processes and we are in the process of preparing the document for printing. It is projected to be published and available through our Customer Service Department early in the 1st quarter of 1998. Watch for it on the IPC Web Site http://www.ipc.org under the "Bookstore" link. Thanks for using the TechNet!
