Product description
Mechanic XG-50 Sn63/Pb37 solder paste (10CC - 42GR) is a leaded solder paste, specially formulated for repair work and personal electronics projects. Its Sn63/Pb37 composition ensures a medium melting point between 185 and 190 ºC, making soldering effective and reliable.
Main features:
- Composition: Sn63/Pb37 alloy with lead.
- Approximate capacity: 42 grams.
- Medium melting point: 185-190 ºC.
- Recommended for repairs and personal projects, not suitable for commercial production due to the presence of lead.
Differences between solder paste types:
- WQ86-50GR-Sn42Bi58: Very low melting point (138-140 ºC), ideal for desoldering SMD ICs or components sensitive to high temperatures.
- XG-50 Sn63/Pb37: Medium melting point (185-190 ºC), the traditional solder paste most commonly used for repairs and personal projects.
- BST-705 sn99cu07ag03: High melting point (235-240 ºC), lead-free alloy that complies with ROHS regulations for commercial production.
Mechanic XG-50 solder paste is ideal for those looking for quality soldering for electronic repairs or DIY work, where ROHS regulations are not mandatory. Its leaded composition allows a lower melting point than lead-free alloys, making soldering and desoldering easier on boards and electronic components.
Typical uses:
- Repairing electronic boards.
- Soldering electronic components in DIY projects.
- Desoldering ICs and components with traditional solder.
Compatibility: Compatible with conventional soldering stations and manual soldering tools. Not recommended for products intended for sale due to lead restrictions.
Important note: Due to the presence of lead, this product is intended exclusively for personal use or repairs and must not be used in commercial production to comply with environmental regulations.
- Leaded Sn63/Pb37 solder paste for traditional soldering
- Approximate 42-gram capacity for multiple applications
- Medium melting point between 185-190 ºC for precise solder joints
- Ideal for electronic repairs and personal projects
- Not suitable for commercial production because it contains lead
Customer Questions & Answers
What is the exact chemical composition of Mechanic XG-50 paste, and what advantages does it offer over other solder alloys?
Mechanic XG-50 paste has a composition of 63% tin (Sn) and 37% lead (Pb), known as Sn63/Pb37. This composition guarantees a stable melting point between 183~190 °C, which makes for even flow and wetting in solder joints. Compared with lead-free alternatives (for example, Sn99/Cu0.7/Ag0.3, melting at 235–240 °C), XG-50 lowers working temperature, reducing thermal stress on sensitive components and improving wetting, although it does not comply with RoHS.
Is Mechanic XG-50 compatible with reflow soldering stations and SMD work, and does it require any special precautions?
Yes, Mechanic XG-50 is fully compatible with conventional reflow stations (electric/hot air) and manual soldering on SMD and THT components. Due to its medium melting point (183–190 °C), it is important to avoid excessive temperatures (>210 °C) to prevent overheating defects or damage to the paste. It is recommended to work with proper fume extraction because of its lead content.
What storage care and shelf life does Mechanic XG-50 solder paste have to maintain performance?
To ensure performance, the paste should be stored sealed in refrigeration between 0 °C and 10 °C. At room temperature (20–25 °C), shelf life is usually 4–6 months, but in cold storage it can extend to 12 months. Avoid exposure to sunlight and moisture, as these can accelerate flux separation and alloy oxidation.
Are there any regulatory restrictions on using this paste in commercial manufacturing?
Mechanic XG-50 contains lead, so it is restricted for electronic products sold in the European Union and other countries under RoHS regulations. It can be used for prototypes, repairs and personal use, but not for manufacturing products intended for mass sale.
What is Mechanic XG-50 solder paste used for?
It is mainly used for electronic repairs and personal projects that require leaded soldering.
Is this solder paste suitable for commercial production?
No, because it contains lead, it is not suitable for manufacturing commercial products that must comply with environmental regulations.
What is the melting point of this solder paste?
The melting point is medium, between 185 and 190 degrees Celsius.
Can I use this paste to desolder SMD components?
Although it is possible, for desoldering SMD components it is recommended to use pastes with a lower melting point such as WQ86-50GR-Sn42Bi58.
How much solder paste does the container hold?
It contains approximately 42 grams of solder paste.
