Lead-free solder paste

Community PCB Design

Anybody have a line on lead-free solder paste in cheap/small quantities? I’m doing a bit of SMT work, and need some paste. I see some places (zeph.com, zianet.com) offer either inexpensive or lead free, but seemingly not both.

I don’t need much right now, and would rather not drop $35 for a syringe of Kester which I probably won’t use up before it goes bad.

Any leads?

Thanks.

Interesting about the paste from DealExtreme.

I may wind up using the Zeph paste…seems like the best deal I can find on lead-free right now.

Thanks.

I came close to dumping about $80 on a tube of Kester a couple months back. The tube was only about $30, but they wanted about $50 for the UPS red overnight charge.

What was the shipping damage on your above order? Only difference is, I’m looking at the eutectic version instead of lead-free.
