Most sellers on Aliexpress for solder paste seem to be obsessed with the melting temperature with no information about ball size, leaded etc. Looking at Digikey, I'm sure they have what I want if only I knew what I was trying to buy.<br></div><div><br></div><div>Cheers<br></div><div><br><span class="gmail_signature_prefix">-- </span><br><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_signature"><div dir="ltr">Robin Gilks<div><br></div></div></div></div></div>
