Flux cored solder wire

12 August 2015 Manufacturing / Production Technology, Hardware & Services

Koki announced the release of new flux cored solder wires exhibiting powerful wetting characteristics. Owing to new activators with superior activation characteristics for improved wettability and new resin composition for better flux coverage, faster and more accurate slide soldering, both in automated and manual processing, is made possible with the 72M flux cored solder wire series.

Available in a wide variety of solder alloys, the new solder wire can prevent bridging even in defect prone conditions like lower iron tip temperatures or faster sliding speeds. Its advanced activators successfully remove oxide film from the surfaces to be soldered, achieving high wettability even with nickel and brass. With a flux activation level categorised as ROL0, 72M prevents electro-migration and ensures high surface insulation resistance.
