Indium NC-SMQ92J Solder Paste PASTEOT-82453-1200G | 63Sn/37Pb No-Clean Type 4 | 1200g Cartridge | MOQ: 4
Indium PASTEOT-82453-1200G — NC-SMQ92J 63/37 No-Clean Halogen-Free Solder Paste, Type 4, 1200g Cartridge | MOQ: 4
Indium PASTEOT-82453-1200G is the NC-SMQ92J halogen-free, no-clean leaded solder paste in a high-volume 1200g cartridge format, formulated with Indalloy 106 (63Sn/37Pb) alloy and Type 4 powder at 89.5% metal load. NC-SMQ92J is engineered for air reflow on high-speed SMT lines, delivering consistent fine-pitch paste deposition, unsurpassed stencil life and tack time, and excellent wetting. The post-reflow residue is benign, probe-testable, and will not clog multi-point ICT probes. Meets or surpasses all ANSI/J-STD-004, -005 specifications and Bellcore test criteria. Minimum order quantity: 4 cartridges.

Key Features
- Type 4 powder — finer particle size (20–38μm) for fine-pitch components and smaller stencil apertures vs. Type 3
- Probe-testable residue — benign no-clean residue easily penetrated by ICT multi-point probes; will not clog probes
- Consistent fine-pitch printing — excellent paste deposition for fine-pitch SMT components on high-speed lines
- Unsurpassed stencil life and tack time — extended open time and strong initial tack for high-throughput production
- Excellent wetting in air reflow — no nitrogen atmosphere required
- High humidity resistance — maintains performance in humid production environments
- Halogen-free — meets halogen-free environmental and customer requirements
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between PASTEOT-82453-1200G (Type 4) and Paste-82320-600G (Type 3) NC-SMQ92J?
Both use the same NC-SMQ92J flux with 63/37 SnPb alloy. Type 4 (20–38μm powder) is finer than Type 3 (25–45μm) and is required for smaller stencil apertures and finer-pitch components. The 1200g cartridge also provides higher volume per cartridge, reducing change frequency on high-throughput lines. Use Type 3 for standard SMT; use Type 4 when component pitch or aperture size demands finer powder.
Why is the 1200g cartridge format preferred for high-volume production?
The 1200g cartridge doubles the paste volume per cartridge compared to the 600g format, cutting cartridge change frequency in half on high-throughput SMT lines. This reduces downtime, improves process consistency, and lowers the per-gram cost of paste. The cartridge format also works with pneumatic dispensing systems for more consistent print deposition than jar-based manual application.
Does NC-SMQ92J residue need to be cleaned?
No — NC-SMQ92J is a no-clean formulation. The post-reflow residue is benign, non-corrosive, and non-conductive. It is specifically engineered to be probe-testable, meaning ICT and flying-probe testers can penetrate the residue without clogging. Cleaning is not required in most applications.
What is the MOQ for PASTEOT-82453-1200G?
The minimum order quantity is 4 cartridges (1200g each = 4.8kg total). Contact MTE Solutions to confirm current pricing and lead time for your order quantity.
What standards does NC-SMQ92J meet?
NC-SMQ92J meets or surpasses ANSI/J-STD-004 (flux classification), J-STD-005 (solder paste requirements), and Bellcore test criteria.
