Solder paste is often called the “glue” of the PCB in SMT manufacturing, but its role goes far beyond holding components in place. It forms electrical connections, affects solder joint reliability, and directly impacts product quality. Understanding solder paste is the first step to understanding SMT production.

Solder paste inspection (SPI) is vital in SMT production, ensuring solder paste quality and consistency. It uses automated vision systems to detect issues like insufficient, excessive, or misaligned paste, improving quality and efficiency.

In SMT production, every successful PCB starts with one critical step — solder paste printing.

In SMT manufacturing, there is one material that quietly holds everything together — solder paste.
