Hello Technetters, what is the best fiducial for full manual adjustment of fine fine pitch solder paste stencils? It is a small board (180mm X 38mm) with some chip size packages with pads not bigger than 0.15 mm x 0.25 mm. There will be always one or two boards at a time, not more, and the customer doesn't want to purchase something like an automated screen printer with vision and bells and whistles. My idea was a square or better round pad and a corresponding hole in the stencil a bit bigger than the pad. Maybe better adjustment than if pad and hole ar 1:1? Any better idea? Thanks in advance Regards Matthias Mansfeld ----------------------------------------------- Matthias Mansfeld Elektronik * Printed Circuit Board Design and Assembly Am Langhoelzl 11, D-85540 Haar, GERMANY Phone: +49-89-4620 0937, Fax: +49-89-4620 0938 E-Mail: [log in to unmask] Internet: http://www.mansfeld-elektronik.de ############################################################## TechNet Mail List provided as a free service by IPC using LISTSERV 1.8c ############################################################## To subscribe/unsubscribe, send a message to [log in to unmask] with following text in the body: To subscribe: SUBSCRIBE TECHNET <your full name> To unsubscribe: SIGNOFF TECHNET ############################################################## Please visit IPC web site (http://www.ipc.org/html/forum.htm) for additional information.
