Indium Corporation manufactures a variety of materials for PCB rework, repair, and touch up, including flux-cored wire, liquid rework fluxes, and TACFlux®.
It is important to consider both the solder alloy density and the diameter of the wire when determining the ideal flux percent. This blog post tells you what else you need to know.
Dr. Ron Lasky, Senior Technology at Indium Corporation, explains how simple tweaks to day-to-day operations can drastically improve electronics assembly uptime and productivity in an interview with SMT expert Phil Zarrow.
Here’s a true story regarding the service temperature of solder joints. Yesterday, as I left work, I noticed that it felt really hot outside. I got in my car and cranked up the AC. I...
After a delightful lunch with Rob, Pete, and the Professor, Patty settled into her office to prepare a lecture on statistics. She was still enjoying the academic environment and this weekly lunch was part of it. Rob and the Professor were both amateur World War II historians, and Patty...
Indium Corporation has developed a range of flux-cored wire solutions to meet the needs of virtually every electronic assembly and rework operation from no-clean flux-cored wire for circuit board assembly to activated flux-cored wire for non-sensitive electronics and electrical applications.
No-clean fluxes include:
Core 230-RC is low-spattering, fast wetting for high reliability assemblies
CW-807 halogen free for high reliability assemblies
CW-802 is recommended only when no halogen is a must and the process is well-controlled
Liquid rework fluxes are packaged in convenient pen dispensers, providing the optimal fluxing with no waste. Flux pens utilize a spring-loaded applicator tip to deliver a controlled amount of flux to the work surface. The user friendly pin-point application is deal for touch-up and light assembly work. Liquid fluxes include:
FP-300, a water-soluble flux that is compatible with both SnPb and Pb-free assemblies
FP-500, a halogen-free flux that is compatible with both SnPb and Pb-free assemblies
NC-771, a halogen-free, low-residue, all-purpose flux that passes the SIR test in the un-reflowed state
TACFlux® have a variety of uses including rework and repair of various electronics assemblies and components, SMT component attach (including BGAs and flip-chips), BGA ball attach, preform soldering, and virtually any application where flux is required. Indium Corporation manufactures a complete line of TACFlux®, which include no-clean, water-wash, and RMA-based fluxes.
Some of the most common TACFlux® include:
TACFlux® 020B, a halogen-free, no-clean flux for Pb-free alloy
TACFlux® 025-NP, a water-soluble flux for Pb-free and SnPb alloys
TACFlux® 089HF, a halogen-free, no-clean flux for Pb-free alloys
