Solder Quantity Calculator

The Solder Quantity Calculator provides evidence to get numerical calculation and solder quantity based on whole mask space and user-defined conditions.

Solder paste is an adhesive material to connect bare PCB and components. The solder quantity in reflow soldering process is decided by the size of open metal mask and metal mask thickness. For solder quantities calculation, metal mask opening size can be extracted from CAD design, however metal mask thickness should be inputted by you. In addition, the solder quantity in wave soldering process is decided by the component pin’s lead size, lead type, including clinching, and other conditions. Solder quantity calculation in wave soldering process is difficult to get exact results. This tool provides evidence to get numerical calculation and solder quantity based on whole mask space and user-defined conditions.
