Recommend a lead free solder paste?

Post by meu »

Hello!

I’ve finally ordered a hot air rework station and have only hand soldered with an iron previously.

I was wondering if there’s any particular recommendations.

Looking at the Chipquik site I’m thinking:

- Solder Paste no clean Sn96.5/Ag3.0/Cu0.5 Lead-Free in 10cc syringe 35g (T3)
Model #: SMD291SNL10

I assume T3 particle size is fine/preferred for 0805 and 0603 SMT?

Thanks!

I would have suggested makerpaste but it is out of stock: https://www.adafruit.com/product/3217
Sparkfun had some lead free solder pastes too. But those are also out of stock.
