Indium NC-SMQ92J Solder Paste PASTEOT-82453-700G | 63Sn/37Pb No-Clean Type 4 | 700g Cartridge | MOQ: 8
Indium NC-SMQ92J Solder Paste — PASTEOT-82453-700G | 63Sn/37Pb No-Clean Type 4 | 700g Cartridge | MOQ: 8
Indium NC-SMQ92J (SKU: PASTEOT-82453-700G) is a halogen-free, no-clean solder paste in a 700g cartridge format, formulated with 63Sn/37Pb eutectic alloy (Indalloy 106) at Type 4 powder and 89.5% metal load. Type 4 powder (20–38μm) provides finer particle size for precise paste deposition on fine-pitch components and smaller stencil apertures compared to Type 3. The 700g cartridge reduces change frequency on high-throughput SMT lines and minimizes paste exposure during printing. Post-reflow residue is benign and probe-testable — will not clog multi-point ICT probes. Minimum order quantity: 8 cartridges. Ships overnight only due to refrigeration requirements.

Key Features
- Type 4 fine powder (20–38μm) — finer particle size than Type 3, required for smaller stencil apertures and fine-pitch SMT components demanding precise paste volume control
- 89.5% metal load — high metal content delivers dense, consistent solder joints with reduced voiding on fine-pitch and high-reliability assemblies
- 700g cartridge format — sealed cartridge minimizes paste exposure and contamination; reduces cartridge change frequency on high-throughput automated SMT lines
- Probe-testable no-clean residue — benign post-reflow residue easily penetrated by multi-point ICT probes; cleaning not required on most assemblies
- Halogen-free formulation — meets ANSI/J-STD-004 and Bellcore halide-free criteria for high-reliability and environmentally sensitive manufacturing
- Excellent air reflow wetting — superior wetting in standard air reflow ovens without nitrogen atmosphere
- Extended stencil life and tack time — strong initial tack and long-term stability for high-mix, high-speed SMT production runs
- Leaded for exemption applications — suitable for military, aerospace, and medical electronics where RoHS lead exemptions apply

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between PASTEOT-82453-700G (Type 4) and PASTEOT-82320-700G (Type 3)?
Both are NC-SMQ92J 63/37 no-clean 700g cartridges. PASTEOT-82453-700G uses Type 4 powder (20–38μm) for finer pitch applications and smaller stencil apertures. PASTEOT-82320-700G uses Type 3 powder (25–45μm) for standard SMT stencil printing. Use Type 4 when component pitch or aperture size demands finer powder; use Type 3 for standard SMT production.
What is the MOQ for PASTEOT-82453-700G?
The minimum order quantity is 8 cartridges (700g each = 5.6kg total). Contact MTE Solutions at 651-600-3838 to discuss order quantities and volume pricing.
Is PASTEOT-82453-700G RoHS compliant?
No — this product contains lead (63Sn/37Pb) and is not RoHS compliant. It is intended for applications where leaded solder is required or permitted, including military, aerospace, and medical electronics operating under RoHS lead exemptions. For lead-free production, see Indium 8.9HF SAC305 solder paste options.
Does NC-SMQ92J require cleaning after reflow?
No — NC-SMQ92J is a no-clean formulation. Post-reflow residue is benign, non-corrosive, and probe-testable for ICT. If conformal coating will be applied over the residue, consult the Indium NC-SMQ92J TDS for coating compatibility guidance.
Why does solder paste require overnight shipping?
Solder paste is temperature-sensitive and must be shipped and stored refrigerated (0–10°C) to preserve flux activity, viscosity, and shelf life. Refrigerate immediately upon receipt and allow to reach room temperature before opening and use.
How does the 700g cartridge compare to the 1000g and 1200g cartridge formats?
All are NC-SMQ92J 63/37 no-clean cartridge formats varying only in volume. The 700g (MOQ:8) is a mid-volume option; the 1000g (PASTEOT-82342-1000G, MOQ:3) and 1200g (PASTEOT-82453-1200G, MOQ:4) offer higher volume per cartridge and lower MOQs, reducing change frequency further. Choose based on your production volume, cartridge dispenser compatibility, and ordering economics.
