Product Overview
ALPHA® LUMET P23 is an industry-standard, lead-free, no-clean solder paste designed specifically for ultra-fine-pitch dispensing and pin transfer (stamping) applications, such as connecting LED flip chips via pin transfer.
This solder paste is typically formulated with Type 6 solder powder to support ultra-fine feature applications, and is available in standard industrial lead-free alloys including SAC305 and SnCu0.7 (99.3Sn/0.7Cu). It provides excellent coalescence performance and outstanding voiding control (typically 5 - 10%), ensuring high-reliability joint connections.
The ALPHA Lumet P23 flux system features an extended work life. It has been proven in production to offer highly repeatable solder transfer volumes over hours of continuous pin transfer (stamping) operations. It can also be pneumatically dispensed using auger valves to achieve dot sizes down to ~150 μm.
Features & Specifications
Primary Use: Ideal for precision operations like LED flip-chip die attach and micro-LED assembly.
Particle Size: Typically formulated with Type 6 solder powder to support ultra-fine feature applications.
Alloy Options: Available in standard lead-free alloys including SAC305 and SnCu0.7 (99.3Sn/0.7Cu).
Application Method: Engineered for pin transfer (stamping) and pneumatic dispensing.
Residue: No-clean formulation, meaning the flux residue left after soldering is chemically non-conductive and non-corrosive.

Application Guidelines
ALPHA LUMET P23 is designed for pin transfer (stamping) on ASM AD830 and similar equipment.
The solder paste thickness on the rotating disk (also known as reservoir thickness) and the pin shape/diameter depend on device size, pad size, and the required bond line thickness (BLT). Typical reservoir thicknesses used in flip-chip applications range between 400 and 700 μm.
