Hi all, I'm trying to put together a board that has an NRF905 as its primary component. It came back from OSHPark in pretty good shape, albeit with a slightly oddly shaped pads, but making a stencil for it has proved impossible. I've found places that offer metal QFN32 solder masks but elsewhere I've read that people have just put a thin layer of paste over all the pads and relied on the top solder mask of the board to keep pins from bridging. I don't want to ruin the board and one of my NRF905s without a seeking some wisdom first. Has anyone successfully done this without a stencil? Any tips or tricks or words of warning?
I'd send a picture of the pad but I don't have a macro lens for a camera so it's very difficult to see. Many thanks in advance for any suggestions, -- joshua noble
