Indium Corporation’s full line of PCB assembly products were specifically designed to meet these new international standards, which help to improve both first pass yields and long-term reliability.
Users’ existing solder products may meet the existing J-STD-004, but could fail to meet the more environmentally-realistic and challenging requirements of the 004B electromigration test.
Included in the new assembly products that are “B” compliant are:
- Wave Solder Flux WF-9948
- Flux-Cored Wire Series CW-807
Wave Solder Flux WF-9948 is a high-activity, no-clean wave solder flux designed for use with through-hole and mixed-technology assemblies. It performs well with both tin-lead and lead-free solders. WF-9948 is very heat stable and has been thoroughly tested for selective soldering and wave soldering applications. Even with the high degree of activation, WF-9948 passes all known reliability requirements.
The CW-807 Flux-Cored Wire Series has been fully tested to J-STD-004B. The series includes:
- CW-807 (halogen-free, ROL0)
- CW-807M (slightly more active, ROL1)
- CW-807HMP for high-temperature applications, such as automotive and downhole survey equipment (ROL0)
