If you've been using metal stencils for BGA rework, we have
some great news for you. Flextac BGA Rework Stencils ... a creative
new product that is a major improvement over what you may be
using now. See our index of the
most popular Flextac BGA Rework Stencils.
These flexible solder paste stencils are laser cut from high
quality, anti-static polymer film with a residue-free adhesive
backing. Because they are self-sticking, no tape or fixturing
is needed. The adhesive seals around each BGA pad to prevent
solder paste from bleeding under the stencil when the paste
is applied. Flextac BGA Stencils are easy to use and leave no residue
on the board surface.
Typical BGA rework stencils are made from metal and require
fixturing or taping to position them and hold them in place.
Metal stencils warp easily, and if the circuit board has undulations
in the board surface, the metal stencil will not sit flat. Since
there is no gasket-like seal, solder paste can easily bleed
under metal stencils when paste is applied with a squeegee.
Also solder paste can spill out over the sides of flat metal
stencils contaminating the circuit board surface. Metal stencils
require tedious stencil cleaning. To use metal stencils effectively,
a high level of operator skill is required.
How Flextac BGA Stencils Work
You first fold the pre-scored side tabs and then peel off the
protective cover film from the bottom side of the stencil. Hold
the side tabs while placing the Flextac BGA Stencil in position
on the circuit board surface. If the stencil is not correctly
positioned, you can simply reposition it. The side tabs also
serve as solder dams preventing solder paste overspill. No external
taping or fixturing is used.
You next apply a small dab of solder paste and use a standard
squeegee to spread the paste. Since the residue-free adhesive
seals around each BGA pad, you can make as many passes with
the squeegee as needed to assure proper aperture filling. The
Flextac BGA Stencil is then peeled up leaving a perfect deposit
of solder on each pad. Although Flextac BGA Stencils are disposable,
they can be used several times.

| 1. Select BGA stencil |
|
|
Step
1
Select the proper BGA stencil size and fold up the side tabs. The side
tabs prevent overspill of solder paste onto the circuit
board surface. |
 |
| 2. Peel cover film from BGA stencil |
|
|
Step
2
Peel off the cover film from the BGA stencil exposing the adhesive backing. This
tape-like adhesive holds the stencil in place and seals
around each BGA pad to prevent solder paste bleed. |
 |
| 3. Place BGA stencil |
|
|
Step
3
Place BGA stencil in position using the handy side tabs. Once in place
the adhesive back will prevent movement. |
 |
| 4. Apply paste to BGA stencil |
|
|
Step
4
Apply paste to BGA stencil using a standard metal squeegee. You can make
several passes with the squeegee to ensure paste is fully
deposited in each opening. |
 |
| 5. Remove BGA stencil |
|
|
Step
5
Remove the BGA stencil and save for another reuse or dispose.
You're now ready to place a new BGA component.
