62S SMQ Surface Mount Quality Solder
The 62S SMQ is a premium, ultra-high purity solder bar specifically engineered for modern electronic assembly. Manufactured from high-grade refined virgin metals, this tin-silver-lead delivers exceptional performance and batch consistency in all assembly situations, while ensuring high yields and low production costs.
Thanks to a special anti-drossing treatment during manufacture, E-Qual solders show a marked reduction in dross formation compared to untreated materials. This results in cleaner, well-formed joints, a reduction in icicling and bridging, and ultimately, reduced product usage and machine maintenance.
The consistent quality control procedures ensure every bar meets or exceeds all internationally recognised standards. We also offer a free regular solder analysis service for customers to check bath contamination levels and ensure quality is maintained within strict operating parameters.
