How Can We Prevent Our 0201 Nozzles From Clogging?
How Can We Prevent Our 0201 Nozzles From Clogging?
We have a formula stencil that had the apertures enlarged to maintain volume while overprinting the ends to keep solder away from the 0201 nozzle. Phil Zarrow and Jim Hall, The Assembly Brothers, discuss this situation and offer their own suggestions and advice.
