Hi there fellow Techies! I need some advice/suggstions please. We need to attach a custom leadless ceramic device to a board. The device is about .5" square with rounded off corners and has .025" pitch gold solder to pads on the bottom side only. The attachment surface does not run up the side of the device in the fashion of a normal castellation found on regular leadless ceramic packages. These pads are .016 x .042 by about .002" thick. The boards are hasl finished. The pads on the board are .016" x .053". The first attempt at soldering these was made using a .006" thick stencil. That produced all leads shorted together. The next run was with a .004" thick setncil. We still experienced some bridging. Have any of you worked with such a device and/or do you have any suggestions on the most reliable way to solder such a critter to a board? Thanks in advance!
