“Stencil Design, Materials & Processes for Today’s Miniaturized Electronics Assembly”

Miniaturization of all electronics from tablets and smart phones to implantable medical devices continues to drive assembly complexity and creates major challenges in yield and reliability. Stencils play a key role in these assemblies as we approach several physical limitations in the printing processes, particularly those for applying solder paste. This panel explores the options currently in use as well as future directions for ensuring high yield, high quality and reliable electronics assemblies of all types. Topics of discussion include stencil materials, processes, coatings and design; solder and flux formulations; as well as interactions between components, boards and reflow processes.

Panel Members:

1. Ahne Oosterhof, Eastwood Consulting (User)

2. Tony Lentz, FCT Assembly (Stencils, nano-coatings)

3. Jim Price, ASM/DEK (Printers, ultrasonic augmentation)

4. Sue Holmes, Photo Stencil (Stencils, laser cutting)

5. Ben Scott, Datum Alloys (Materials, stencil alloys/metallurgy)

A big “thank you” goes out to MTE Solutions for sponsoring this event!
