Estimating the term…
Rectangular positioning lands are formed on a circuit board, and rectangular positioning openings are formed in a metal mask. In addition, the positioning lands and positioning openings are formed such that their long side length becomes identical, and short side of the positioning opening becomes narrower than that of the positioning land. This enables to modify the deviation angle θ between the circuit board and the metal mask, and positional deviation in X and Y directions of the circuit board, during performing test printing, by modifying the position of the metal mask with respect to the circuit board, such that exposed excess parts, on which cream solder is not formed, are formed on the positioning lands, and the excess parts formed upper and lower sides of the cream solder mutually keep a constant spacing to become a same width.
A cream solder printing metal mask with positioning function including openings formed corresponding to land patterns formed on a circuit board, and when cream solder is printed from the openings on the land patterns by a squeegee sliding on the surfaces of the openings, configured so as to align the land patterns and the openings, wherein, on the circuit board, positioning lands are formed at positions located on non-used areas of the land patterns, and, in the metal mask, positioning openings are formed corresponding to the positioning lands, the positioning lands and the positioning openings are formed in rectangular shapes, and the short side width of the positioning openings is formed narrower than that of the positioning lands.
