Medium Melt Solder Paste

Sn63 / Pb37 • 183°C MELTING POINT

Professional solder paste formulated for reliable electronics soldering, component installation, microsoldering, and board-level repair.

Why Medium Melt?

Reliable Soldering.
Proven Alloy.

Sn63/Pb37 has long been used for professional electronics soldering because of its predictable melting behavior and defined 183°C melting point. PolarTronix Medium Melt Solder Paste is designed for general board-level soldering, component installation, microsoldering, and electronics repair where a conventional tin-lead solder alloy is appropriate.

183°C
Melting Point

Defined melting temperature for controlled electronics soldering and reflow.

Sn63
63% Tin

Tin forms the primary component of the Sn63/Pb37 solder alloy.

Pb37
37% Lead

Combined with tin to create the conventional Sn63/Pb37 electronics solder composition.

35 g
Net Weight

Professional-size solder paste container for electronics repair and board-level work.

Predictable Melting Behavior

Sn63/Pb37 is a eutectic alloy, meaning it transitions between solid and liquid at a defined temperature rather than moving through a broad pasty temperature range.

Built for General Electronics Work

Its 183°C melting point makes Sn63/Pb37 a practical choice for many board-level soldering, component installation, connector repair, and microsoldering applications.

Technical Note

The 183°C melting point describes the solder alloy and should not be interpreted as a universal soldering iron, hot-air, or reflow setting. Actual process temperatures depend on the PCB, component, thermal mass, equipment, airflow, and soldering procedure.

Ideal Applications

Built for Everyday
Board-Level Soldering.

PolarTronix Medium Melt Solder Paste is designed for professional electronics repair where a conventional Sn63/Pb37 solder alloy is appropriate. Its 183°C melting point makes it a practical choice for a wide range of component installation, repair, and rework procedures.

Suitable for installing and replacing surface-mount components during professional electronics repair, assembly, and board-level rework.

02 / CONNECTORS & PORTS

Connectors & Ports

A practical solder alloy for controlled repair and replacement of PCB-mounted connectors, ports, and other multi-point soldered components.

03 / MICROSOLDERING

Microsoldering & PCB Repair

Designed for detailed board-level work including microsoldering, component replacement, trace-area repair, and precision electronics servicing.

04 / GENERAL REWORK

General Electronics Rework

Well suited for professional repair of smartphones, tablets, laptops, game consoles, computers, and other electronic assemblies where Sn63/Pb37 is appropriate.

Professional Electronics Solder

Medium Melt Sn63/Pb37 is intended for controlled electronics soldering and rework. Material selection should always consider the original solder alloy, component requirements, and operating conditions of the repaired assembly.

Understanding the Alloy

What Makes Sn63/Pb37
Different?

PolarTronix Medium Melt Solder Paste uses the classic Sn63/Pb37 composition: 63% tin and 37% lead. This eutectic alloy has a defined melting point of approximately 183°C, giving technicians predictable melting behavior during professional electronics soldering and rework.

Eutectic Alloy

What Does “Eutectic” Mean?

A eutectic solder alloy transitions between solid and liquid at a defined temperature rather than softening gradually through a broad temperature range. For Sn63/Pb37, that transition occurs at approximately 183°C.

Why It Matters

Predictable melting behavior gives technicians a consistent process window for many component installation, PCB repair, connector, and general electronics soldering applications.

Technical Note

Sn63/Pb37 contains lead and should be handled using appropriate professional safety and hygiene practices. Always consider the original solder alloy, component requirements, and operating conditions when selecting solder for a repair.

Technical Considerations

Use the Right Alloy.
Control the Process.

Sn63/Pb37 is widely used in professional electronics soldering, but reliable results still depend on correct material selection, surface preparation, controlled application, and appropriate soldering conditions.

Sn63/Pb37 Contains Lead

Medium Melt Sn63/Pb37 is a lead-containing solder alloy. Appropriate workplace hygiene, ventilation, handling, storage, and disposal practices should be followed according to the product Safety Data Sheet and applicable regulations.

01 / ALLOY SELECTION

Match the Application

Consider the original solder alloy, component requirements, operating environment, and intended use of the assembly before selecting Sn63/Pb37 for repair or rework.

02 / PROCESS CONTROL

Manage Heat Carefully

Adjust temperature, airflow, heating time, and technique based on the PCB thermal mass, component size, equipment, and specific soldering procedure.

03 / APPLICATION

Control Paste Volume

Apply only the amount of solder paste required for the joint. Excess material can contribute to bridging, residue, and inconsistent solder formation.

04 / WORK AREA

Maintain Good Hygiene

Keep soldering areas clean, follow appropriate hand-washing practices after handling lead-containing materials, and follow the current SDS for workplace precautions.

Professional Use

Always review the current Safety Data Sheet before use. Medium Melt Solder Paste is intended for professional electronics soldering and repair where Sn63/Pb37 is appropriate for the application.
