SMT patch manufacturer: What are the methods to reduce the overall cost of solder paste?

Nowadays, many electronics factories are complaining that the cost of using the entire solder paste is too high. As a professionalSMTSurface mount technology (SMT) manufacturers, they expect to reduce the overall costSMTWelding cost. When the products of lead-free solder paste manufacturers are in normal use, it is obvious that even a small bottle of solder paste may look unremarkable, but the price of solder paste is very high. A bottle costs several hundred yuan. It looks outrageously expensive. So when choosing soldering products, as a professional lead-free solder paste manufacturer, we all hope that customers can meet their usage requirements at the lowest cost. However, under the unique national conditions of China, low price means no quality.SMTIf manufacturers want to reduce the overall cost of lead-free solder paste, they must take into account multiple factors to make a choice. The following is an explanation from the solder paste manufacturer:

Reducing the overall cost of solder paste can start from the following aspects:

1Choose the correct solder paste brand

Although solder paste is not necessarily better the more expensive it is, there is a reason for its high price. Compared with electronics factoriesSMTWhen it comes to how to choose the most cost-effective solder paste, it is a difficult problem. When making a choice, do not blindly pursue low-priced lead-free solder paste. The purpose of solder paste is for soldering. As long as the quality requirements for soldering are met while also taking into account cost and market demands, as a soldering product, the continuous processing and production of solder paste by the manufacturer also require the cooperation of corresponding suppliers. When choosing a solder paste brand that suits you, you must carefully consider: soldering quality, cost requirements, and the service quality standards of lead-free solder paste manufacturers.

2Save usage

As long as solder paste is used normally, there will definitely be some production, which will be more or less wasteful, because inSMTIn the implementation of soldering joints by surface mount technology (SMT) manufacturers, it is inevitable. Our suggestion is that the use of SMT machines should focus on economy as much as possible, reducing unnecessary extravagance and waste. By streamlining the soldering workflow and upgrading the SMT process, the lead-free solder paste wasted during the printing process can be collected and flexibly utilized, which may to a certain extent reduce the overall cost. The precise control of solder joint positions can be achieved by upgrading the soldering process requirements, which greatly reduces omissions and may save the amount of solder paste used to a certain extent.

3Combination of the old and the new

Newly boughtSolder pasteIt is an undeniable fact that the soldering is good, which is determined by the production process of lead-free solder paste manufacturers. Over time, the flux and other components in lead-free solder paste will undergo trace chemical reactions during storage, which is also the reason why the solder paste is transported from the manufacturer toSMTAn important reason why surface mount technology (SMT) manufacturers need to store at low temperatures. The flux components inside new solder paste and old solder paste may have slight differences due to chemical reactions. When conditions permit, it is suggested that surface mount technology (SMT) manufacturers do not discard old solder paste at will. Instead, they can use a combination of new and old solder paste, which can also reduce the overall cost of solder paste to a certain extent.
