WS483
Sn62 and Sn63
Water Soluble Solder Paste
Features:
- 48 Hour Stencil Life
- Excellent Activity
- 24 Hour Tack Time
- Excellent Printing Characteristics
- Slump Resistant
- Good for Batch or Continuous Runs
- Extended Cleaning Window
- High-Humidity Resistant
- Will Not Foam During Wash
Description:
WS483 is an organically activated formulation developed to better resist the effects of increased humidity
levels. WS483 offers improved heat and humidity resistance, while maintaining high tack and resistance to
slump. WS483 also provides an exceptional post-process cleaning window and will not foam during the
cleaning process, even in high-pressure wash systems.
Printing:
-
Apply sufficient paste to the stencil to allow a smooth, even roll during the print cycle (a bead diameter of
12 to 16 mm (½ to ⅝ inch) is normally sufficient to begin).
-
Apply small amounts of fresh solder paste to the stencil at controlled intervals to maintain paste chemistry
and workable properties.
-
WS483 provides the necessary tack time and force for today’s high speed placement equipment, which
will enhance product performance and reliability.

Reflow Profile:
Either a straight ramp-spike or ramp-soak-spike profile can be used as shown below. Both profiles would
have a similar peak temperature and time above liquidus (TAL). The shaded area defines the process window.
Oven efficiency, board size/mass, component type and density all influence the final profile for a given
assembly. These profiles are starting points, and processing boards with thermal-couples attached is
recommended to optimize the process.

Cleaning:
WS483 can be cleaned easily with normal tap water. Deionized water is recommended for the final rinse. A
temperature of 38°C (100°F) - 66°C (150°F) is sufficient for removing residues. An in-line or other
pressurized spray cleaning system is suggested, but is not required.
Handling and Storage:
- WS483 has a refrigerated shelf life of 6 months at 4°C (40°F).
- Allow the solder paste to warm naturally to ambient temperature (8 hrs.) prior to breaking the seal for use.
- Mix the product lightly and thoroughly for 1 to 2 minutes to ensure even distribution of any separated
material.
- Do not store new and used paste in the same container, and reseal any opened containers while not in use.
- Replace the internal plug and cap of the 500 gram jars to ensure the best possible seal.
Safety:
- Use with adequate ventilation and proper personal protective equipment.
- Refer to the accompanying Material Safety Data Sheet
for any specific emergency information.
- Do not dispose of any lead-containing materials in non-approved containers.
