MLN Stencils
Laserformed nickel stencils offer the accuracy of laser cutting and the enhanced paste release of nickel material. Electroforming or precision etching creates the required recesses and raised areas.
MLNs are best suited to applications where an increased localized thickness is required.
| Typical general thickness | 0.150mm (0.006") |
| Reduced/raised thickness: | Application: |
| 0.005" | Standard pitch components & fine pitch down to 0.450mm 0.018" |
| 0.004" | Standard pitch components down to 0.3mm 0.012", CSPs and µBGAs |
| 0.008" | Standard pitch components and PLCCs, SM connectors or 'J-leg' components with co-planarity issues |
| Suitable applications | All component pitches |
| Positional accuracy: | ± 0.008% |
| Aperture dimensional tolerances: | ± 8µ (0.0003") |
| Standard material thicknesses available: | 0.100, 0.125, 0.150, 0.200, 0.225, 0.250mm 0.004", 0.005", 0.006", 0.007", 0.008", 0.009", 0.010" Other thicknesses are available on request. |
