Jetting and Microdispensing Solder Paste Features & Benefits

Jetting and microdispensing solder pastes are specifically formulated for fine-pitch and ultra-fine dispensing/jetting for various applications. Indium Corporation’s jetting and microdispensing pastes provide reliable dispensing of consistent size deposits in automated dispensing or jetting equipment.
Jetting or microdispense solder pastes include no-clean and water-soluble solder pastes, and are used with SnAgCu and SnPb alloy systems. It is important that they ONLY be used with the matched printable solder pastes. These products are designed for reflow in air or nitrogen atmosphere of 100ppm oxygen or less.

Jetting Solder Paste

Jetting
Introduction:

Jetting eliminates the need for a change in Z-axis movement. This significantly increases the speed that you can place deposits onto any surface versus contact dispensing. Jetting also makes it easier to deposit solder paste onto surfaces of varying heights.

Features and Benefits:
  • Increased speed
  • Constant Z-axis
  • Easily dispense on varying heights
Common Equipment Companies:

Mycronic, Musashi, Vermes, Camalot, Asymtek, Shinwa Marco, etc.

Microdispensing Solder Paste

Microdispensing
Introduction:

Dispensing has a variety of different methods for depositing material. The most common of these are Time/Pressure, Auger, and Diaphragm pumps. Dispensing allows for dot dispense and the ability to dispense a variety of unique patterns as well.

Features and Benefits:
  • Very fine deposits
  • Unique dispense patterns
  • No satellites
Common Equipment Companies:

NSW Automation, Musashi Engineering, GPD, Essemtec, Mycronic, Camalot, etc.

PicoShot® NC-5M Jetting Paste

PicoShot® Jetting Paste Series

Indium Corporation’s PicoShot® jetting solder pastes are no-clean or water-wash, halogen-free materials specifically formulated to be compatible with Mycronic jetting systems. Inherently chemically-compatible with Indium8.9HF Solder Paste, PicoShot® Series is optimized for long-term jetting. This series provides exceptional jetting performance, and its unique oxidation barrier promotes complete powder coalescence during reflow to eliminate graping and similar reflow issues.

Existing PicoShot® portfolio include:

  1. PicoShot® NC-5M
    1. No-clean formula
    2. Capable of smallest dot volume for pastes in same class: 7.5nl/dot, 360μm diameter
  2. PicoShot® WS-5M
    1. Water-soluble formula
    2. Capable of smallest dot volume for pastes in same class: 7.5nl/dot, 360μm diameter
  3. PicoShot® NC-6M
    1. No-clean formula
    2. Smallest dot volume among pastes in its class: 1.6nl/dot, 230µm diameter
And more products are being developed through a close, collaborative relationship with Mycronic.
