Minimum tension to be maintained in SMT stencil - Any Standards | 21 January, 2020

Dear Experts,

Need your suggestion on the minimum tension to be maintained in the SMT stencil.

Presently we are maintaining the 30 - 50 N/cm2 at the 4 corners of the stencil.

And not considering the center of the stencil into consideration..

Is there any standard to be maintained. Please help me to get some standards on the same.

Regards, Ameen

Same practice is maintain at my organisation but include center during each set up. This practice is to ensure that stencil is in good during production since no standard for stencil life span control.

Dear All,

thanks a lot .

Supplier recommend same 35 - 50 n/cm.

But our customer is asking for any standard available in the industry to follow same.

Please share any standard . If come across.

Regards, Ameen

I got question on is there any variance for thickness of stencil with respect to stencil tension. Is ther any guideline for it.

The tension depends on the thickness of the stencil. Exp: stencil of 100µm => tension must be higher than 33N

Hi Team,

what we have observed is that tension basically at the center of the stencil is less . And it directly depends on the number of aperture opening we have . More the opening less the tension.

But there is no supporting document for the same form IPC or any other standards.
