New fast-wetting and low-spatter flux-cored wire for robotic and laser soldering

Indium Corporation now offers its CW-232, a uniquely formulated flux-cored wire that blends superior wetting speed and spread with remarkably low-spatter performance.

The product is a highly activated rosin flux-cored wire developed to satisfy the demanding needs of robotic and laser solder applications by providing additional wetting power to attain higher throughput. The wire also works particularly well in hand soldering applications. Due to its 'no-spatter' technology, it eradicates flux spattering that can burn operators’ hands, impair the vision system of the robotic soldering machines, or make finished products less aesthetically appealing.

The product offers a light-coloured residue and is compatible with Pb-free and SnPb alloys. It is also compatible with HASL, Immersion Silver, ENIG, and OSP surface finishes.
