    Dispensing Solder Paste Using The ProtoMat S63 or S103


    Required Tools:
    DispenserHead RedPlasticNeedle Solderpaste(atroomtemperature) Calipers(capableofmeasuringinmillimeters) CompletedPCB GerberFiles(SolderPasteandDrillLayers) CompressedAir(@45psior3bar)

    Procedure:
    1. Complete Milling and Drilling of PCB board. a. See how to circuit pro (cam and board production) documents. 2. Warm solder paste to room temperature. a. Recommend letting it sit for 12 hours. 3. Connect compressed air to the machine. (if not already connected) a. Minimum requirement of 45 psi or 3 bar. 4. Open existing Circuit Pro file (.cbf) for this design. 5. Import Solder paste top Gerber file. a. See how to circuit pro (Cam only) document step 2. 6. Calculate the amount of solder needed. a. Go to the toolpath menu and select dispense.

    b. Select needle size i. Currently, only the 0.4mm needle is available

    c. Press run or apply. d. Press close. 1/6 HT-Dispense Solder Paste Valid Since: 09/06/2011 Author: LPKF/Chris Ware LPKF
