Solder paste

Solder paste is a preparation of powdered solder in sticky flux paste primarily used to solder surface mount components onto printed circuit boards. It is also possible to solder through-hole pin in paste components by printing solder paste in and over the holes. The sticky paste temporarily holds components in place; the board is then heated, melting the paste and forming a mechanical bond as well as an electrical connection.
