Soft SMT Solder Paste Spatula White / Green Solder Paste Squeegee
Advantages of Soft Spatulas Over Traditional Options
While metal or rigid plastic spatulas are commonly used in SMT processes, soft spatulas offer unique benefits for surface mount technology applications:
Gentle Handling: Ideal for fragile stencils and delicate applications
Flexibility: Adapts to the stencil's surface for precise solder paste spreading
Lightweight Design: Easier to maneuver, especially for detailed tasks
These qualities make the soft spatula a preferred choice for manufacturers seeking to improve their production process and ensure consistent quality.
Maintaining Your Soft SMT Spatula
Proper maintenance ensures your spatula remains effective and extends its service life:
Regular Cleaning: Wash with warm water and mild detergent to remove solder paste residue
Inspect for Wear: Replace the spatula if it shows signs of degradation, such as cracks or warping
Avoid Harsh Chemicals: Use approved cleaning agents to prevent damage to the soft material
