I am curious as to why you need to mix.... We use a 500g cartridge with air gun. Our process is remove the cartridge from the fridge, allow it to warm up to room temperature before inserting into air gun, then apply bead of paste to the stencil. N

Hi Everyone, I am just curious, is there a guidline that people follow for choosing their lead-free solder paste? In other words, how do people know whether they should use Indium alloy, or Castin (Sn/Ag/Cu), or whatever else? Thanks

Depends on your specific application. Can you handle lower reflow temps? Can your parts handle higher reflow temps? What environment will your assembled product have to endure? Lot of different factors come in to play when choosing the right allo

What are the implication of using lead free components on lead content solder paste.

I would advise that you clean the stencil thoroughly at least every 4 hours, also though it is worth cleaning the stencil top and bottom after any breaktimes. To avoid solder paste drying off in stencil apertures. Best piece of kit I've purchased was

Jacki, Lead-free Cu based alloys with melting point below 210C don’t exist.

You're correct. There's a range of issues. Two perspectives are: * TI and other suppliers has been shipping lead-free solderability protected leads on components for years. We have discussed, here on SMTnet, a need to adjust the reflow profile to
