Indium Corporation has extended its manufacturing capabilities to include a fine diameter 0.004” (0.1mm) flux-cored wire made with preferred Pb-free alloys to assist customers to meet the progressively demanding needs of fine-pitch applications.
This new offering is created to offer a fine wire solution to customers dealing with increased solder joint density and miniaturisation in applications where solder paste reflow and other soldering approaches are not effective, including robotic soldering for fine-pitch attachment of small components to medical devices or fine-pitch PCB assemblies. Hand soldering and rework with this new fine diameter wire can be possible for skilled operators.
Fluxes recommended for this new fine diameter are its Core 230-RC, a low spatter wire that displays exceptional performance in robotic soldering applications, and CW-807, a flux-cored wire formulated for general purpose electronics soldering with a clear residue.
The fine diameter wire is available in SAC305, SAC387, Sn96.5Ag3.5, Sn96.3Ag3.7, and Sn96Ag4 alloys. Other Pb-free alloy options can be discussed.
