Brand: Mechanic
VAT included (Ex VAT: 4.21 €)
Product description:
The Mechanic XG-40 solder paste (35GR) is a solder paste with an Sn63/Pb37 composition, which includes lead, suitable for electronic repair and assembly applications. Its particle size ranges from 25 to 45 micrometres, ensuring even distribution and precise soldering.
Main features:
- Composition: Sn63/Pb37 (63% tin, 37% lead)
- Particle size: 25-45 µm
- Capacity: approximately 35 grams
- Medium melting point: between 185-190 ºC
- Ideal for repairs and personal electronics projects
Differences between Mechanic solder paste types:
- WQ86-50GR-Sn42Bi58: Very low melting point (138-140 ºC), used for desoldering SMD components or in applications sensitive to high temperatures.
- XG-40 Sn63/Pb37: Medium melting point (185-190 ºC), the traditional solder most commonly used for repairs.
- BST-705 sn99cu07ag03: High melting point (235-240 ºC), lead-free alloy that complies with ROHS regulations, used in commercial production.
Typical uses:
This solder paste is ideal for soldering work in electronics where reliable soldering and a medium melting point are required. It is especially useful for repairing electronic boards and personal projects where compliance with commercial manufacturing regulations is not required.
Compatibility:
Compatible with soldering stations and standard soldering tools that support leaded solder paste. Not recommended for commercial products due to the presence of lead.
Usage tips:
- Apply carefully to avoid excess paste and ensure a clean solder joint.
- Use in well-ventilated areas due to the presence of lead.
- For desoldering sensitive components, consider mixing with lower melting point pastes.
With this Mechanic XG-40 solder paste, you get a reliable and traditional solution for your electronics soldering needs.

Customer Questions & Answers
What are the exact dimensions and weight of the product, and what does the container include?
The container holds approximately 35 grams of solder paste. The particle size is between 25 μm and 45 μm, allowing precise application on micro-components. Although the physical dimensions of the container may vary slightly depending on the batch, they are usually compact jars of approximately 40 mm in height and 30 mm in diameter.
Are there any special storage requirements or shelf-life period?
To maintain its properties, the paste should be stored tightly closed in a dry environment, away from heat sources and preferably between 3 °C and 10 °C. The recommended shelf life is up to 6 months after opening, provided the product is protected from dust and moisture.
What technical difference does this paste have compared with a RoHS-compliant one such as BST-705?
Mechanic XG-40 (Sn63/Pb37) contains lead, giving it a melting point of 185-190 °C, which makes soldering easier at lower temperatures and reduces thermal stress on components. BST-705 is lead-free and RoHS-compliant, but requires higher temperatures (235-240 °C) to melt, which can pose a greater risk of damage to certain electronic components.
What usage risks or legal requirements should I consider when using this leaded solder paste?
Handling lead-containing products requires precautions: avoid direct skin contact, inhalation of fumes or accidental ingestion. It should be used in well-ventilated areas and hands should be washed thoroughly after use. In addition, its use is restricted in electronic devices intended for sale in the European Union and many international markets due to RoHS regulations (2002/95/EC).
Does this solder paste contain lead?
Yes, Mechanic XG-40 solder paste contains lead in its Sn63/Pb37 composition.
What type of work is this solder paste recommended for?
It is recommended for electronics repairs and personal projects where a solder with a medium melting point is required.
Can this paste be used in commercial products?
No, due to the presence of lead, it is not permitted for manufacturing commercial products that must comply with regulations such as ROHS.
What is the particle size of this solder paste?
The particle size is between 25 and 45 micrometres.
What is the melting point of this solder paste?
The melting point is medium, approximately between 185 and 190 degrees Celsius.
