Although the solder pastes producers assure minimum 8 hours stencil life-STL (the warranted solder pastes in printing period usage) for printing or dispensing in the recommended ambient conditions: temperature 22° to 28°C and 30%–70% relative humidity, and over six months shelf life-SHL (the shelf warranted storage period in the determined ambient conditions), the solder pastes loss percent goes over 20% in these cases. Process engineers allow to use solder pastes after SHL to and over STL limits [2], in order to reduce loses and implicit costs, taking (or not) into consideration possible solder joints reliability implications. Taking into consideration the solder pastes, as part of 4P Soldering Model for solder joints reliability analyze, in the paper will be presented the study done to find solution for prolonging SHL over producer data, maintaining their properties.

A detailed structural simulation was performed with help of the High Frequency Structural Simulator (by Ansoft), considering the internal structure of each class of material sample. Samples structural particularities impose the character of the HF field interaction with the material. The polarization level, indicated by the electric effective permittivity value evolves with frequency and temperature in agreement of these interaction mechanisms.
