5.1.4 Solder Paste Deposit – Height It may be neces-
sary to use a measurement system to evaluate this factor.
See Section 4, MEASUREMENT OF SOLDER PASTE
DEPOSITS.
Example of Tolerance:
• Component pin co-planarity: 100 µm [0.0039 in]
• Stencil thickness: 127 µm [0.005 in]
• Reduction of 20%
• Result of theoretical paste deposit height: 102 µm
[0.004 in]
See Appendix A for further examples.
Target – Class 1, 2, 3
• Nominal height is achieved, (deposit height = stencil
thickness) (Figures 5-22 and 5-23).
Process Indicator – Class 1, 2, 3
• Paste deposit height 75% of stencil thickness (Figure
5-24).
Defect – Class 1, 2, 3
• Paste deposit height 50% of stencil thickness (Figure
5-25).

Appendix A
Guideline for Operator Troubleshooting in the
Solder Paste Screen Printing Process
This section can be used as a guideline, so that the
operator/user can identify error types and problem areas
with relevant solutions that can be used in connection with
correcting/optimizing of the solder paste deposits.
The following requirements should be met before the
screen printer process optimization can be started:
• The solder paste should meet the requirements of J-STD-
005 or equivalent.
• The stencil should be in good condition and have the cor-
rect tension.
• The squeegee blades/printing head should be in good con-
dition and mounted correctly.
• There should be sufficient board support for the PCB dur-
ing the printing process.
• The stencil should be clean on both sides and in the aper-
tures (inspect with microscope).
A.1 Visual Check for Solder Paste Printing Optimization
• Does the solder paste roll when pushed by the squeegee
blades?
• Are all apertures filled 100% with solder paste?
• Is the top side of the stencil free of solder paste residues?
• Is the solder paste released from the stencil apertures?
• Is there solder paste residues on the bottom side of the
stencil?
A.2 Tolerances The nominal solder paste deposit height
equals the stencil thickness. However, this will not always
be true because of other factors that influence the paste
deposit height such as solder mask, silk screen, labels,
masking, and contaminates on the PCB surface (Figures
A-3 and A-4).
Note: There may be differences in the solder deposit
depending on the type of squeegee blade used; e.g., metal,
rubber or plastic. The customer and manufacturer should
agree on the acceptable conditions when other than metal
blades are used.
