Discussion point : Question 10 (Query on Fidicual)

As Fidicual will be useful in pick and placement, will the fidicual be required to be assigned solder paste?

Response:

• It is not a common practice to assign Solder Paste to Fidicual 
• Adding Solder Paste to Fidicual can cause problems for Pick and Place machines. 

Notes: Fidicual is a reference point used by pick and place machines to identify the board location. Fidicuals allow SMT placement equipment to accurately locate and place parts on boards.
