Printer Operation

The following are general guidelines for stencil printer optimization with 4300 series. Some adjustments may be necessary based on your process requirements.

Print Speed: 25-100 mm/sec
Squeegee Pressure: 70-250g/cm of blade
Under Stencil Wipe: Once every 10-25 prints, or as necessary

Low Oxide Powder Distribution

Note: Type-6 and Type-7 may not be available in certain alloys. Other powder distributions are available on request.

Stencil Life

>8 hours @ 30-45% RH and 20-25°C
~4 hours @ 45-75% RH and 20-25°C

Cleaning

Solder paste can be left on PCB for many SMT assemblies. For applications requiring cleaning, solder paster can be cleaned using Deionized Water at 40-60°C with a recommended water pressure of 30-50 PSI or using commercial flux residue removers.

Storage

Solder paste should be stored between 3-8°C (37-46°F) to obtain the maximum refrigerated shelf life of six months. Unopened solder paste stored at room temperature, 25°C (77°F) will have a one month shelf life. Syringes and cartridges should be stored vertically in the refrigerator with the dispensing tip down.

Allow 4-8 hours for solder paste to reach optimal operating temperature of 20-25°C (68-77°F). Keep the solder paste container sealed while warming the solder paste to operating temperature.

NEVER FREEZE SOLDER PASTE!
