EM907 Solder Paste
Lead-Free, No-Clean
Product Description
EM907 is a lead-free, air and nitrogen reflowable no-clean solder paste specifically designed for the thermal requirements
of lead-free alloys, including the Sn96.5Ag3.0Cu0.5 alloy. The paste flux system allows joint appearances that closely
resemble that achieved with SnPb alloys. EM907 is capable of stencil printing downtimes up to 60 minutes with an
effective first print down to 20 mils without any kneading. EM907 also exhibits excellent continual printability for fine pitch
(0.4mm/16 mils) and is able to print at high speeds up to 6 in/s (150 mm/s). This solder paste also exceeds the reliability
standards required by J-STD-004.
Performance Characteristics:
■
Lead-free joints that closely
resemble those achieved with SnPb
solder paste
■
Excellent solderability to a wide
variety of surface metalizations,
including NiAu, ImSn and ImAg

Application Notes
Availability
®
EM907 is available in the Sn96.5Ag3.0Cu0.5 and Sn96.5Ag3.5 alloys. Type 3 powder mesh is normally recommended,
but type 4 is available for fine pitch applications. EM907 is also compatible with other SnAgCu alloys in a similar melting
range to the listed alloys. For specific packaging information, see Kester’s Paste Packaging Chart for available sizes. The
appropriate combination depends on process variables and the specific application.

Recommended Reflow Profile
Full convection reflow method is most commonly used to reflow
the EM907 formula. The recommended convection reflow profile
for EM907 made with either the Sn96.5Ag3.5 or SnAgCu alloys is
shown here.

Cleaning
EM907 is a no-clean formula. The residues do not need to be removed for typical applications. Although EM907 is
designed for no-clean applications, its residues can be easily removed using automated cleaning equipment (in-line or
batch) with a variety of readily available cleaning agents. Call Kester Technical Support for details.
Storage and Shelf Life
Refrigeration is the recommended optimum storage condition for solder paste to maintain consistent viscosity, reflow
characteristics, and overall performance. EM907 should be stabilized at room temperature prior to printing. EM907 should
be kept at standard refrigeration temperatures, 0-10°C (32-50°F). Please contact Kester Technical Support if you require
additional advice with regard to storage and handling of this material. Shelf life is 4 months from date of manufacture and
held at 0-10°C (32-50°F).
Health and Safety
This product, during handling or use, may be hazardous to your health or the environment. Read the Safety Data Sheet
(SDS) and warning label before using this product.
