Solder Paste and Preforms

One of the most important steps in the complete SMT assembly process is the Stencil Printing Process. The selection of a suitable solder paste, perfect stencil geometry design and correct setup of the stencil printer is crusial.

Partnertec offers the complete solution, including equipment, solder paste and in house designed and manufactured laser cut stencils.

We provide on-site process support for your printing process, together with our partners ASMPT  and Indium Corporation.

SOLDER PASTE

SOLDER PREFORMS

The Printed Circuit Assembler’s Guide to Solder Defects.

Stencil Printing is a delicate process and both solder pasta and process set-up do effect the quality of the solder joint.  Typical issues such as Voiding, Graping, Head in Pillow, Non Wet Opens, Tombstoning, insufficient Solder and Solder Balling should be avoided.
Indum offers a guide to find solutions for each defect.
