SMT solder paste for benchtop pick and place machine, small batch PCB assembly

How to Choose SMT Solder Paste for Benchtop Pick and Place Machines

Many small-batch assemblers and PCB prototyping users overlook one critical factor: solder paste matching. Even with a high-precision benchtop pick and place machine, wrong solder paste will cause bridging, tombstoning, poor wetting, and low assembly yield. Unlike large industrial SMT lines, desktop SMT systems serve prototyping, small runs, and mixed-component jobs. Their solder paste requirements […]

Why SMT Solder Joints Have Pinholes & Bubbles? Solder Paste & Printing Fixes

Pinholes and bubbles on SMT solder joints are common welding defects in PCB production, which directly reduce solder joint reliability, cause hidden issues like cold solder and poor conductivity, and even lead to product failure. The root causes mostly lie in two core links: solder paste selection/control and stencil printing process, rather than a single […]
