Can-on-board solder migration problems solved
Tecan Components has solved a range of problems associated with automated soldering of RFI screening cans/fences onto PCBs with the introduction of the 'Plimsoll line and lattice bridging stencils'.
New wafer bumping stencil boosts yields
Electroformed wafer-bumping stencils from Tecan Stencils Limited (TSL), are being used to accurately deposit solder paste directly onto silicon wafer die.
Multi-level stencils for improved PCB manufacture
TSL manufactures multi-level stencils which deliver the distinct paste volumes required by the diversity of components used on today's electronic assemblies in a single printing action.
Making costly tooling and long lead times things of the past, the standard screening can range encompasses a wide range of sizes and options, allowing users to select components which assure both maximum RFI performance and compatibility with individual production requirements.
Over three decades of experience and expertise has resulted in a progressive portfolio of screening cans which cater for all current electromechanical requirements, including low-profile and surface-mount offerings.
Based on standard component pitches, the cans can be supplied in a wide choice of lids, sidewalls, and mountings.
The selection process is made simple through the company's website, which now includes new information regarding the whole range along with downloadable dimensional drawings.
Ordering online is also available.
Where necessary, comprehensive technical support is offered.
Eight standard configurations include - a four-sided can with a spring fingered lid, a four-sided surface-mount fence with a spring-fingered lid, a four-sided can with a plain folded lid, a five-sided can formed and spot welded, a five-sided can formed for surface mount, a five-sided can supplied flat for self-forming, a total enclosure with a spring-fingered lid, and a four-sided fence with two spring-fingered lids.
The standard pitch system covers 20 x 20 to 75 x 125mm.
Low-profile cans are available down to 2.5mm high.
The company uses a range of well-established and proven manufacturing techniques, such as photo chemical machining (PCM) and punch/press progression tooling, to provide cans for the most demanding low, medium or high-volume production needs.
Manufacturing facilities include a purpose-built high-specification facility with both Class-1000 and Class-100 clean areas and in-house plating.
All parts are produced within a strict and fully traceable BS EN ISO9001:2000 quality-control regime.
