Fine Powder Pastes

PicoShot® Series Jetting Pastes

Indium Corporation, an innovator in jetting pastes, works closely with Mycronic, one of the leading solder jet printer manufacturers, to offer a simple solution for both small and large-volume solder jetting applications. Utilizing jetting solder paste is increasingly popular for fine-feature assemblies in electronics manufacturing across diverse industries such as automotive and advanced packaging.

Jetting vs. Dispensing

While jetting and dispensing are similar in enabling precise solder deposition on patterns typically unattainable with a stencil, there are some differences. In jetting, there is no Z-axis movement from the jet head or contact with the substrate, leading to enhanced throughput. This necessitates specific rheological adjustments to optimize solder paste for jetting compared to dispensing, whether through flux chemistry or metal load. Our PicoShot® series has been optimized and approved by Mycronic for use in their jetting equipment.

Powder Size and Deposit Size

PicoShot® can accommodate Type 5 and Type 6 solder alloy powder, with particles ranging from 15 to 25 μm for Type 5 and 5-15um for Type 6 in diameter. While larger particles risk clogging the paste ejector, the jetting process allows for additive deposition, enabling substantial paste application even with small powder sizes.

Mycronic “Qualified” vs. Mycronic “Jettable”

When ordering a PicoShot® product, it’s important to distinguish between a “qualified” and a “jettable” product to ensure compatibility and a smooth ordering process. A “qualified” paste has undergone rigorous scale-up testing by both Mycronic and Indium Corporation, verifying key properties such as shelf life and ejector durability. These pastes also feature a barcode, allowing Mycronic jet printers to instantly load the optimal jetting parameters. A “jettable” paste, on the other hand, hasn’t undergone ejector life testing and lacks a barcode but has passed a proof-of-concept jetting test. These are best suited for low-volume applications or when qualified products may not be available.
