Our verdict

A lead-free low temperature solder paste in a small syringe with a no-clean synthetic flux. It must be kept cold and warmed before use, and the alloy melts at a low temperature, so check that it suits the application.

Overview

Chip Quik formulates this Smooth Flow paste as a low temperature, lead-free alloy supplied in a syringe. A lower density flux vehicle gives better shear spread and improved flow during heating.

The reason to buy it is a lead-free, RoHS and REACH compliant paste that melts at a low temperature, with a no-clean flux. The limitation is the cold storage routine and the syringe quantity, which suits limited runs.

Who it's for

Lab, repair and small-run assembly users who need a lead-free paste with a low melting temperature are the match. Anyone who needs a high-melting alloy, or cannot refrigerate and temper the paste, should look elsewhere.

Pros and cons

Pros
  • RoHS and REACH compliant
  • Low melting temperature
  • No-clean synthetic flux
  • Halogen free per test method
Cons
  • Needs refrigeration and warm-up before use
  • Syringe quantity suits limited runs

Performance notes

Because the alloy melts at a low temperature, the parts see less heat during the joint. The flux vehicle is built for spread under shear and flow while heating, and the paste must warm to operating temperature before use. Stencil life shortens as humidity rises.
