What is Step-up & Step-down Stencil? Selective Solder Paste Volume Increasing Solution
The trend in the electronics industry is toward smaller and smaller SMD components, with sizes such as 0402, 0201, and even 01005 becoming common (Note 1). Additionally, the pitch between pins on ICs has decreased to a fine pitch of … Continue reading

Why do thinner PCBs will need carrier for reflow process?
As the career of Manufacturing Process Engineering(MPE), WorkingBear has noticed a constant battle between Designers, Marketers, and Manufacturers. Marketers always want thin, modern design that look thin. Designers think fabrication is simple, while Manufacturers want strong, robust, sturdy assemblies that … Continue reading

Case study for the mold-in insert screw boss broken
In a previous discussion, WorkingBear identified potential root causes for screw boss cracking after mold-in screw nut insertion. Following a complaint from the field, we asked EMS and the plastic injection supplier to double-check their inventory and found that approximately … Continue reading

Selectively/partial increase solder paste volume solutions
Why is it necessary to partially increase the solder paste volume in SMT soldering? To meet the demands of smaller and thinner electronic component designs, stencils are made as thin as possible to precisely control the tiny solder paste printed … Continue reading
