Hi Steve,

Hope you don't mind, I put a subject in the subject box for your post...

As far as through-put issues with your dispenser, why not print your epoxy. You would do the whole board in well less than 30-seconds, and have much better accuracy and consistency than you could ever expect from a dispenser.

As far as high temperature pastes go, you would need one of the high-lead alloys in order to be above the typical solder pot temperature of 500° F (260° C). Getting these alloys in paste form is going to be challenge as well, you can bet that it's going to be a custom order with a minimum buy too.

A few of those alloys are:

                             ° F            ° C

Sn10Pb90       514 - 576       268 - 302
Sn10Pb88Ag02
514 - 570       268 - 299
Sn05Pb92.5 Ag2.5      536              280

My two-cents...

-Steve Gregory-
