DEK Electroform Variable Aperture Height Technology (VAHT) DEK VAHT technology offers a unique alternative to multi-level stencils for nonhomogeneous assemblies that call for larger, area-specific paste volumes to accommodate bigger components. Electroform stencils can be produced with modifications to accommodate specific applications. One such adaptation is a technique called Variable Aperture Height Technology (VAHT), whereby a gasket overgrowth is created around apertures to create more aperture height to allow for increased paste volumes to be deposited. Benefits: ■ Ideal for heterogeneous...
