Title: Work Instruction Soldering with Solder Paste Cartridge Page: 3 / 7 1 Scope of Content The document shows the solder paste cartridge preparation for soldering with Performus III dispenser. The solder paste should only be used for difficult soldering processes where the solder joints are difficult to reach or for components which can easily get damaged during normal soldering. 2 Quality Control In Ensure that the solder paste cartridge is not expired. 3 Soldering with Solder Paste 3.1 Cartridge preparation Take the solder paste cartridge. Fig.01: Solder paste cartridge Remove the cartridge caps. Fig.02: Opened solder paste cartridge
Title: Work Instruction Soldering with Solder Paste Cartridge Page: 4 / 7 Attach the red dispensing needle tip (screw cap). Fig.03: Attached needle tip 3.2 Connect cartridge to Performus Attach the solder paste cartridge to the Performus cartridge adapter. Fig.04: Attached cartridge adapter 3.3 Performus setup Recommended setting: Air pressure: 3 bar (43.5 PSI) Vacuum: Off Operation mode: Steady (Time off) Fig.05: Performus III 3.4 Before soldering Open the safety clip (adapter tube). Fig.06: Safety clip
Title: Work Instruction Soldering with Solder Paste Cartridge Page: 5 / 7 Point with the needle tip on a tissue. Dispense the material till it runs out of the needle. The solder paste is now ready for the soldering process. Solder paste Fig.07: Prepare solder paste 3.5 Soldering Apply solder paste under the microscope. Use needle tip red. Solder points shall not be higher than the litzwires itself. Microscope Solder paste Fig.08: Apply solder paste Notice Solder joint can suddenly burst open (flash point at 305 C) Do not use solder temperature above 300 C Microscope 280 C Perform soldering under the microscope. Solder temperature 280 C. Use soldering tip RT1-SC. Reference time for heating: 1 second Soldering Fig.09: Soldering Clean all solder joints with Isopropanol and cotton swaps to remove unmelted residuals(solder spatter). Isopropanol Cleaning Tip Fig.10: Clean solder joints
Title: Work Instruction Soldering with Solder Paste Cartridge Page: 6 / 7 3.6 After Soldering Place the cartridge in the holder. Close the safety clip (adapter tube). Fig.11: Cartridge holder 4 Quality Control Out Ensure that safety clip is closed Ensure that there are no unmelted solder paste residuals Store solder paste in the fridge after the shift
