Reliability Matters

Stencil Design and Manufacturing Best Practices with Elias Malfavon Jr.


Listen Later

Today, we’re putting the spotlight on a critical component in surface mount technology, the stencil. 
These precision-engineered tools are the unsung heroes of electronic assembly, playing a pivotal role in ensuring accurate solder paste deposition and, ultimately, the reliability of your circuit assemblies.

It's been long said that reliability begins at the solder print, and the print begins with the stencil.

Joining us today is Elias Malfavon Jr, President of Metal Etch Services, Inc. a stencil manufacturer operating in San Marcos California. Metal edge services was founded 20 years ago in 2005. 

We’ll explore the fascinating journey of stencil production, from design and material selection to the advanced laser cutting technologies that ensure microscopic precision. 

We’ll also discuss the latest innovations in stencil technology, their impact on modern assembly processes, and how the industry is evolving to meet the challenges of ultra-high-density interconnects and miniaturization.

So, sit back, relax, and let’s uncover the critical role of SMT stencils in today’s electronics manufacturing landscape.
