Improving Soldering Yield: Reliable Domestic Solder Paste Solutions

Improving Soldering Yield: Reliable Domestic Solder Paste Solutions

During actual testing of the 8M9P/5RR zero-halogen Solder Paste at an automotive module factory in Shenzhen, it was found that the solder joint void rate after LED headlamp reflow was stably controlled below 3.2%, far lower than the customer requirement of 5%. This is attributed to its ROL0 grade zero-halogen formulation and optimized T4 particle size distribution of 305 alloy powder, which simultaneously enhances the fluidity of molten metal and the ability to break oxide films. In contrast, comparable imported products used during the same period exhibited void rate fluctuations of 6.8% to 9.1% under the same reflow temperature profile.

After a Bluetooth earphone OEM in Dongguan switched to the 8MNTTP/5RNTT, the first-pass yield of 0.4mm pitch QFN devices on FPC flexible boards jumped from 92.7% to 99.1%. The root cause is that this Domestic Solder Paste leaves transparent residues with an ionic contamination level <0.1μg/cm² NaCl, preventing the recurrence of micro-shorts after ultrasonic cleaning. Meanwhile, its 00507BN alloy powder has a T5 grade fine powder proportion of 38%, significantly improving release consistency when the stencil aperture is smaller than 0.12mm.

The main control board production line of a fingerprint lock manufacturer in Suzhou had long been plagued by solder balls. After switching to the 8MQP/5RQ, the solder ball occurrence rate dropped by 91%. The key lies in the synergistic effect of its ROL1 grade halogen control (both items <1500ppm) and T4 grade 0307 alloy powder, which ensures high-activity wetting capability while suppressing excessive Flux splashing. Combined with fine-tuned printing parameters — squeegee pressure reduced by 0.2MPa and release speed increased to 25mm/s — the QFN side wetting height reached above 0.18mm.

To address the welding challenge of nickel-plated fins on aluminum-based heat sinks, the 8MW1AP/5RW1A water-washable low-temperature solder paste completes soldering at a peak temperature of 175°C, leaving no visible residue after rinsing with pure water. The 138°C melting point of the Sn42Bi58 alloy matches well with the ORH1 type water-soluble rosin system, reducing energy consumption by 18% compared to traditional medium-temperature solder pastes, while avoiding the risk of micro-corrosion to aluminum caused by alkaline cleaners.

In laser jet valve operations, the 5RLJ series, matched with T6/T7 grade ultra-fine powder (D50=3.2μm) and a low-volatility rosin carrier, ran continuously for 4 hours under conditions of 0.18MPa air pressure and 80Hz dispensing frequency without nozzle clogging. In contrast, an imported competitor product experienced a 12% flow rate attenuation after only 2.3 hours under the same conditions, which directly relates to the process window width of SMT Solder Paste in precision dispensing scenarios.

Our JJY model LFP-JJY5RQ-0307T4 has been batch-validated at five EMS factories in East China. Its 0307 alloy powder melting range of 221–227°C and recommended soldering temperature window of 240–260°C are highly compatible with the common temperature zone settings of domestic reflow equipment. Without adjusting the existing reflow profile, the BGA cold solder rate can be suppressed below 0.017%, demonstrating that the value of yield-improving solder paste lies not in parameter stacking, but in robust performance under real production line conditions.
