Low temperature soldering paste

Low temperature soldering paste is a type of solder paste designed to melt and flow at lower temperatures than standard solder pastes. Here are its main features:

  • Melting Point: Typically melts between 130°C and 180°C, compared to standard lead-free solder pastes which melt around 217°C.
  • Composition: Often contains bismuth-based alloys (e.g., Sn42/Bi58) instead of traditional tin-silver-copper (SAC) alloys.
  • Applications: Ideal for temperature-sensitive components, rework, or double-sided PCB assembly where high heat could dam-Age parts.
  • Reduced Thermal Stress: Minimizes risk of warping or dam-Aging PCBs and components.
  • Energy Saving: Lower reflow oven temperatures reduce energy consumption.
  • Compatibility: Useful for mixed-technology boards or assemblies with plastic connectors and LEDs.
