Fast-wetting, no-clean wire with a flux core minimises soldering speed
A no-clean, flux-cored wire developed for robotic and manual soldering processes, the CW-818, is designed to minimise cycle times while delivering soldering speed and spread, said Indium.
Indium halide-free CW-818 combines soldering speed and spread with improved overall cleanliness (with clear / light-coloured residue, charring resistance, and spatter control technology). The result is enhanced cleanliness, even at higher soldering iron tip temperatures, said the company.
CW-818 can be used in manual and robotic soldering applications where the J-STD-004C high-reliability category is desired or required. It is also suitable for applications where extra wetting power is needed to achieve a higher throughput.
CW-818 is also compatible with Pb-free and SnPb alloys and HASL, immersion silver, ENIG and OSP surface finishes. It is also suitable for legacy processes requiring an RMA-strength product, added Indium.
Indium refines, smelts, manufactures and supplies metals to the electronics, semiconductor, thin film and thermal management markets. Products include solders and fluxes, brazes, thermal interface materials, sputtering targets, indium, gallium, germanium, and tin metals and inorganic compounds and NanoFoil.
Founded in 1934, the company has technical support and factories located in China, India, Malaysia, Singapore, South Korea, the United Kingdom, and the USA.
